Electronic crashes add to the tension. Stylised as in "Tea for Two" adds humour. Found sounds could suggest a bird calling in the prisoner's solo, linking the sound with the title. Other sounds could suggest prisoners crying out in another cell.

Red shirt could suggest blood. The guards dress identically to suggest power over the prisoner. Khaki suggests military. Jazz shoes add to audible aspects of interrogation.

Lighting contribution
A shaft of light during the prisoners solo suggests freedom or heaven as he focuses on the light. Light from stage right, suggests that there is only on way to enter and exit the cell. The dim light suggests a harsh environment.
