Set Description
A shabby office in the garment district of New York. Three
desks are cluttered closely together, with a filing cabinet in the
rear. To the left of the office is an entrance into a smaller room,
which is used for shipping and packaging. A long bench
occupies most of this room. The rooms are separated from each
other by a portable partition. To the right of the office is the exit.
