The set for Exit, Pursued by a Bear reflects the emotional space of Nan, a woman abused by her husband. Her run-down Gerogia cabin is empty of meaning. Surrounding branches represent both the woods without and her fear of escaping to the outside world. But as Nan works toward her freedom, the set transforms, becoming a talk show set, a karaoke bar, and a place of vengeance.
