Answer 1

A. The setting of the play could be anywhere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Game is a play by Harold Brighouse. The play was initially published in 1920, but it suffered a long period of oblivion. It was not revived until 2010. However, it did enjoy some success during its own time, even being adapted into a film. The play tells the story of a fictional football team called the Blackton Rovers. It mostly focuses in their star player Jack Metherell and the club owner Austin Whitworth. The set in the play is minimal in order to emphasize the fact that the story could take place anywhere.
