Will it go in your hall?
Drag the corner of the floor to your hall's real size. The gold outline is our footprint — it does not move, because the arch is 2.4 m and does not fold any smaller.
9.0 × 7.5 m — fits, with 1.5 m spare at the sides.
- 6.0 × 5.0 m clear floor, plus the audience
- 2.6 m height clearance under any beam
- Two 13A sockets within 10 m of the set
- 45 min to get in, 30 min to get out
- Van parking within 50 m of a door we can use
- No blackout — the set brings its own house light

Where the van goes
Pull the year across. Two months of it we are not touring at all — August is spent cutting the next set, and the workshop keeps us through the turn of the year.
Three or four towns a month, eleven or twelve performances, and never more than two hours from the workshop in case a flat splits.
February · The Boy Who Ate the Moon · 4 towns, 11 performances

It folds into two cases
Every flat is hinged where it can be and rolled where it cannot. Drag the handle and watch the whole set walk into the boot of a small van.
