The Stair was first performed at the Workhouse Theatre, Melbourne on 17 June 1998 with the following cast:

CARSON ... Tim Constantine
GREEN ... Jamie Wilson

A medium to large business requires it strategies, procedures and policies to make it a smooth running operation. With the trappings of bureaucracy and the good intentions of its staff, these suit-wearing, coffee-drinking Corporates find it difficult to see the trees for the forest. This scene takes place in a fire stairwell of a multi-story office building.

Location
The stairwell of this multistory building could be located in any office block.

Relationships
Green is a high level manager, compared to Carson, a lowly administration officer. Green has no time for the lower levels of the working environment, as for Carson has no respect for the higher levels.

On Stage
This play is written with the idea in mind that no sets are required, only one sound effect.
