The Remote Fiction Circus is two plays. The first is a standard length play (between one-and-a-half and two-and-a-half hours) for a standard theatrical setting. It has been written with a very large – and very tall – proscenium arch stage in mind, although this is by no means a necessity. The second play is between 8 and 10 hours and requires a more specialised setting. It is necessitous that the audience be comfortably seated (more so than is possible in a conventional theatre), with tables available to groups. Small amounts of noiseless finger-food must be spread throughout the audience at regular intervals, as well as beverages – it is preferable that alcoholic beverages be made available although this must be defined by the venue's licensing. Audience lighting must be present, but only barely enough to allow safe navigation through the seating arrangements. This second play is a group experience more than it is theatre. Both interpretations of this text are as valid as the other.
