By placing the entirety of The Secretaries in the woods, the danger of what lies out side the secretarial office of Cooney Lumber Mill remains ever present.
The audience sat at the center off all the action, with each location from the play enveloped them, prompting the audience to turn towards the new scenes. As the sun sets further, the horror of the deeds of the secretaries become more apparent. By the end of the piece, the audience is also there and complicit in their monthly ritual in the woods.
