Has anyone done a farce with a non-realistic set? For a show that traditionally would have many doors.

Hoping to do " Boeing Boeing" but we do not have a theatre space of our own, and making a movable set with seven doors is beyond our current capabilities.

Reading the play, I saw no issue with it. But when I read theatre review of productions --it is all "doors doors doors" so now I am worried. I guess I should not have done that, ignorance and all that.
Thank you,
Kee

If you come up with any good ideas let us know. I'd be interested, too. We were brainstorming this idea for Harvey this year but couldn't come up with anything that seemed like it would work.
