Tegan’s bedroom transforms from a private practice space into a stage for social deception, its refined mahogany furnishings and oak-framed mirror providing the backdrop for Tegan’s Charleston demonstration and Ann’s dramatic unveiling of the disguise. The room’s opulent formality ironically hosts an improvised deception, its polished surfaces reflecting the shifting power dynamics among the women.
