Julia Jones recalled that the idea came "from a location I know very well - near our home in Wales. We've walked it a lot, and it's very beautiful. The idea actually came to me as I was walking along the stream. I just seemed to see a picture of all these people looking from behind bushes at one another. Then one day, when we were going to Wales, we stopped for a picnic - and just down the road, by a river, was an estate car. Someone had laid out his bed in the back - his sleeping bag - and everything he needed. It was just like a little room - quite beautiful. And he had gone fishing. A salesman of some sort - or he looked like one. So that character I had in mind - and the play went from there".
