Hee. This is probably for the best, yeah. That is kind of a long speech to do in a box. ;)
In the Pimlott production he dragged it onstage for the prison scene, stood it upright, and climbed into it. (Since you have many Sam West fans on your flist you have probably seen photos. Like this one.) And then Exton dumped him into it at the end of the scene and presented it to Henry. Which I like better than the thing this production seems to have had going. (Did it have styrofoam peanuts in it?)
Also the thing about Richard and people listening is one of those things that gets missed out on a lot in both criticism and production: that is, that his total acquiescence ends up being a form of resistance, because he doesn't have access to more traditional manners of resistance (e.g., no army). So what he does instead is ruin it for everybody else. And it totally works.
