    The film records and merges the final two performances of the 1968 stage play, the final one having been staged as extra with more lightning for better recording quality. In contrast to the previous non-recorded performances, actors are not fully naked during central scenes so to ensure distribution to movie theatres. The film makes use of split screen to show both actors and audience involvement in parallel.
