Scene and heard

Who’d’ve thought that a Hitchcock film could have been turned into a comedy! Certainly when I told my mother, she didn’t believe it. But I have to say folks, you should catch this while it’s still on. The upper tier wasn’t filled and even though tickets were on sale at half price, the lower tiers didn’t entirely sell out. So I doubt this will be around for too long.

All parts are played by 4 people. To be more precise, the 3 female parts are taken by one woman and the male lead takes only one part. All other parts are taken by two men who work very hard; sometimes switching between 3 characters by simply changing their hat. It makes for great slapstick And the actors/characters are very likeable, so as soon as you see them wearing a new hat or coat, you laugh.

Being that my mother’s mobility it rather compromised, she took a while getting to and returning from the ladies room, which is downstairs. And by the time we left, 3 of the actors (pictured) were outside, along with another fellow (in the blue vest) who obviously worked on the production.

Amusingly, and I wish I had a video to show this, although the ladies room is only accessible via stairs, there is a handicapped stall. That’s obviously a legal requirement, but I wonder how handicapped people are supposed to get there in the first place!
