In The Balance

Studio Stage
520 N. Western Ave. Los Angeles

Matt, a college professor, shares a cliffside home in Big Sur overlooking the ocean with his wife, Cass, a former ballerina, and their new baby, Anne. Sounds idyllic, but for one thing: The joint is haunted. How else to explain the mishaps and sudden shatterings? When Matt's old college buddy Kostya shows up with his young girlfriend from Mexico City, Alicia, hidden sins are revealed; a violent, bloody death from the past comes back to haunt them; and ghosts come out to possess the living and play out a wicked game. Will the five occupants of the house on the cliff survive?

"...Acting was excellent, though one had to pay close attention since several characters changed roles mid-stream -with Cass becoming Diana and Alicia becoming Cass. The story's conclusion seemed left hanging, as well. Was the ghost satisfied? More twists might have been inserted in the story perhaps dealing with the baby and the two silent ghosts might have done a bit more to enhance the script."

"...Playwright A. David Redish's odd drama is a weird mix of Blithe Spirit and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. This pitch is likely to have you thinking that the show might be better than it is. So it gives no me pleasure to note that Steve Jarrard's awkwardly executed production will leave you thinking you've seen a sloppy mess rather than anything mystical and quirky."
