      Very good story and earnest acting. However, but it was very difficult to get used to seeing an adult man playing an older female housekeeper. At times, I had to hold back chuckles. Also felt like more could have been done with the ropes used in the sparse set design. Collapse

Let's here it for Stoneham Theater for bringing this play to our attention and for taking risks that most small town theaters would'n't dare take on. Collapse

      First time at Stoneham theatre, loved how small and intimate it was. The actors were pretty good and liked the set design (lights very cool). However, for spending 30 bucks on a ticket, I expected a longer performace with more actors! Also, they strayed so much for the story in many which didn't make a lot of sense. Still not sure how I feel about the male actor taking on three roles. I think it was meant to be comic, but I found it rather strange. I still might try a show at the theatre again, I like that it's in walking distance! Let's bring more people to Stoneham! Collapse
