We see a lot of plays that are well acted, directed and staged. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. The acting was mediocre, poor direction and uninteresting staging. Sorry to say it wasn't a very good production.Written on Apr 06 2011

The cast was not polished, forgot lines and not very good actors overall. There was one line that was very funny, this play takes place in the 1960's and in one scene Lisa states "I can't remember I'm not a computer."Written on Apr 04 2011

There are hits and and there are misses; sorry to say this was a miss. I was looking forward to this play and loved the idea of a night of suspense. Unfortunately all I got was a night of missed lines and actors not connecting with each other. There was no emotion between the actors. It was as if they were just spouting out lines and moving through their paces. There was just no real connection between the actors. It was painful to watch.Written on Apr 03 2011
The youngest member of the cast was over the top and not in a good way. I trust the delivery will improve with time, but at this time this one was not for me.

I vaguely remembered the movie after renting it when I was young, and remembered liking it a lot. So I didn't know what to expect from a local theatrical production (especially in a play featuring a child actor, who is usually the kiss of death on stage). And you can't compete with an Audrey Hepburn film.Written on Apr 11 2011
Or maybe you can. I was SHOCKED at how GOOD this was. The cast was professional from top to bottom - even the actors in the thankless roles of the denoument cops. The three con artists were chilling, especially Chris Winfield as Mike, the con artist who had a lot going on in his mind, and strangely enough, his conscience. And what a revelation Kaylena Mann as Gloria was! She just kept getting better until the audience was roaring with laughter and waiting to hear what she would say next. Great credit goes to the set designer Winfield (playing double-duty on and off stage with equal success) and Sound Designer Steve Shaw who made a 1960s Greenwich Village apartment come alive. Director David Colwell somehow pulled off the juggling/tightrope act of making the staging of a blind girl and the seeing swindlers who interacted with her always seem in-the-moment and real. But the highest praise must go to the lead actress Liza de Weerd, who portrayed a blind, brilliant and insanely brave heroine flawlessly. It even impressed my two friends, who are both in the entertainment industry and some of the toughest critics I know. GREAT show!

Description
Directed by David Colwell
A Broadway hit, this taut thriller is a tight rope walk from one suspenseful moment to the next. Susy Hendrix, an independent blind woman, unwittingly comes into possession of a doll filled with drugs. Three ex-cons attempt to retrieve the doll by deceiving Susy into thinking that her husband has been implicated in a murder and finding the doll is the key to proving his innocence. Their deception unravels as they are unprepared for the heightened intuition that takes over when sight is taken out the equation. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues leading to a heart-stopping finale.
