Inspired by Orlando Figes's 2002 production of Natasha's Dance, Joe Wright adopted an experimental approach to convey the essence of the story. The majority of the film was shot on a "run-down" theater built from scratch in Shepperton. Locations such as a skating rink, train station and stables were dressed on top of the theater. To create fluid linearity, doors open onto Russian landscapes; some actors walk from one set to another under the stage. For cutaway wide exterior shots, toy trains and doll houses were used. The only main cast member who is allowed to venture out of the theater is Domhnall Gleeson (Levin) because Wright wanted to amplify the fact that Levin is the only authentic character in the group.
