Working in non-theatre spaces (the favourite "an abandoned factory" beloved of experimental projects) is riddled with problems - no resources of any kind are available. Audiences these days expect decent lighting in shows... they never notice it or appreciate it until it's taken away, and then they shriek and howl. You will need a touring lighting rig (and all the safety and fire certificates that entails). And there are never adequate loos
Oh yes, that's a situation I know well from a number of abandoned-factory productions (in collaboration with installation artists rather than theatre people though) I've been involved with. Even getting electrical power into the space can sometimes involve enormous difficulties. In one of them (in a disused turbine hall outside Brisbane) a concrete staircase with 5 steps had to be built for the audience to use, dozens of half-broken windows 20m above the ground had to be knocked out by abseilers, everything as you say had to be brought in from outside and in the end even this wasn't good enough for the health and safety people and the (two!) performances had to be by invitation only. And then there were the snakes in the railway workshops in Perth, and the 47 degree heat in the non-air-conditioned space making daytime rehearsals impossible. And then there were the stools for the audience in Berlin which all had to be screwed to the floor the day before the opening (ie. during rehearsal time). If you don't believe me ask Mr Sudden, who was there for all of these events.
