For this production, we wanted to maintain the feel of an indoor, air dome soccer field, stretching to "infinity", while making the audience feel as though they were close enough to share in the very personal exchanges between the characters.  The real astroturf continued upstage of a divider net in a warped perspective ramp and was meant to create the illusion of a field which stretches into the distance while never exceeding the boundaries of the air dome itself.  Practical industrial and fluorescent lighting fixtures were strategically placed over the playing area and around the audience to create an all-encompassing arena feel where audience members could feel as though they were inside the dome with the players, eavesdropping unnoticed from a short distance.  The set dressing was intentionally blended, spare and utilitarian, giving plenty of literal playing space for the soccer players while not creating visual distractions from the action.
