0"Don't run on the wall" is not a standard idiom - perhaps it had a specific meaning in the context of the play? Two similar expressions would be: "to hit the wall", which can be used metaphorically to describe reaching your emotional or physical limits; and "don't run before you can walk", meaning take your time to consolidate the basics of a skill before trying anything advanced.0-

0Maybe it's related to the idea of "climbing the walls"? She's so frantic that she's racing around (at least metaphorically) so fast that she's running not only on the floor but also the walls?02br
