Episode notes
Play Inspired Episode Writing
- The episode was inspired by the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" which depicts a dysfunctional dinner party.
- Writers Jean Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg poured three weeks into crafting this intensely cringy, darkly comedic screenplay.
No Rewrites On Script
- The writers used their full summer hiatus to refine this episode, leading to no rewrites post-table read.
- This indicates their passion since most Office scripts usually undergo multiple rewrites before shooting.
Director Paul Feig’s Dream Episode
- Director Paul Feig got to helm this episode only due to the writers strike delaying production.
- He saw it as a dream episode full of discomfort and humor, later proud of the craft involved.
