How do you answer a question like "How would you direct this play" ?

How should I? I read the script and then I interpret it my own way, but how DO I "direct the play" ? On what basis should I set the time and location?

If you are a director then you know the answer to this question.
If you don't, maybe you should stick with second unit stuff for a while.

You read the play, how do YOU see it on the stage? That is how you direct.
WHat is your vision for this work on YOUR stage?
How do you go about putting it there?

Hitchcock loved putting a movie together more than actually making it.
But the time the cameras started to roll he was already bored with it having made the movie in his head.
