Director's Notes:

Q: What did you like about this play to make you want to direct it?
Charles: It is a very cleverly written comedy-thriller with amazing plot twists.

Q: Is there anything especially challenging in this production?
Charles: The set includes difficult effects: an operating faucet, a turning water wheel, rain, and pyrotechnic effects. Also, the cast includes 4 characters who must change vocally several times.

Q: Do you have any comments on the show itself?
Charles: This is a comedy-thriller which is very intricately plotted - a play within a play within a play. The ending defies anyone who thinks he can predict it. Although very complex, with many plot twists and character changes, it is highly entertaining throughout.

We should also mention that the show contains some adult themes and is not recommended for children.
