Ultimately, they are cast into another room offstage which is represented by a dark void by God, the steambath's Puerto Rican attendant.

Producer Joe Byrne caught the 1973 PBS television production and saw the potential for a weekly series, so he convinced an executive at Warner Bros. to option the rights.

[1] All three American TV networks loved it and were keen on keeping Jose Perez as God, but Byrne refused to tone down the material[1] so the project sat in limbo until 1983 when Warner Bros. commissioned author Dan Greenburg to create a script.

[2] Greenburg loosely adapted the play and added the character of Blanche to serve as a "romantic interest" for Morty,[2] although their relationship was never explored by David Pollack and Elias Davis, who wrote the rest of the episodes.

[2] In addition to Perez, Neil J. Schwartz & Patrick Spohn returned from the PBS adaptation as the flamboyant songsters simply known as The Young Men, and Burt Brinckerhoff directed three of the six episodes.
