Set
This play, more than possibly any other His Company script, will benefit from a complete set. It certainly can be produced with only two actors on a sparse stage, but will nonetheless be enhanced by a set denoting the deck of a small ship and, most especially, sound effects of waves, wind, and creaking timbers. Extras can also be employed as deck hands moving about lashing items down for the storm, hauling in the dinghy, etc.
Props
As many as the Director wishes, depending on the set.
