Alarms and Excursions (Acting Edition)

Synopsis
Two people move into an empty room and begin to construct a life together in this work by the author of Noises Off Copenhagen Benefactors and numerous other well known plays.
Should the bed go here and the table go there?
Or the bed there and the table here?
Everything inside this small space is for them to decide.
The responsibility is daunting - especially when they reflect that it has taken the whole history of the world to get them together in this particular place at this particular time and that the whole future of the world will be different if the table is here instead of there.
But how can they decide anything when the other person keeps disagreeing and when the woman downstairs maddeningly dumps unwanted furniture on them that they do not have the heart to refuse?
