How does the production's use of setting, costumes, and sound design contribute to its overall effect?

The production cleverly intertwines the sisters' role-playing with the historical context of the Papin sisters, highlighting the enduring themes of power, servitude, and rebellion within the domestic sphere. The modern setting and costumes, contrasted with the padded-cell-like set, create a disquieting atmosphere that engages the audience. The play's unsettling ambiguity leaves the audience questioning what constitutes reality versus performance.
