The venue was intimate and very nice. Good view from anywhere in the house. The play was very good. Some of the actors were stronger than others but it is definitely a play I would recommend. If you like conspiracy theories this is the play for you.Written on Feb 18 2008

Lots of heavy dialogue... a bit dry in parts. A bit dramatic and overacted in parts too.Written on Feb 19 2008

Excellent seat - thank you.Written on Feb 18 2008
Acting was superb
Plot interesting. An opportunity to view the layers of human experience and the deeper truth of each character. Also a view of how difficult it is to be authentic in today's world.

This was billed as a psychological thriller. It was very psychological but the thriller part was missing for me. The four actors did an excellent job suspending my disbelief, even though the set was split and one section was lit while the other part was in the shadows as the action moved from one side to the other. Often the actors would remain on stage in the shadows and in some cases they clearly knew what was going on in the lighted part while on other cases they seemed not to know what was going on. Our discussion afterwards centered on the motives of the characters especially considering revelation near the end of the play.Written on Feb 15 2008
The seats were okay although we moved down to vacant seats in the parterre from the balcony at the intermission. There were several other groups that moved down at the same tme. The actors were having trouble projecting to the balcony and the (in character) accents of two of the actors were hard to understand, but the parterre location was excellent.

Nationally recognized psychologist and playwright, Robert Clyman, takes you on an electrifying ride. Philip is a highly respected psychiatrist famous for using a form of hypnosis called “trancing” to help his patients uncover suppressed memories. When he trances Azmera, an African grad student, he unexpectedly learns of a secret that could have profound consequences for thousands in an African village. Enlisting the aid of an ambitious reporter with connections to the Director of African Affairs, Philip is pulled into a suspenseful vortex of moral deliberation, truth and the powerful art of persuasion.
