"...Perhaps Shakespeare was right to say “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” At least that seems to be the case in Steven Dietz’s Private Eyes, a “Comedy of Suspicion” now onstage at Theatre Palisades. Five actors interact in separate scenes, as if rehearsals are taking place for a play or movie in which they are appearing, but nothing is ever quite what it seems to be since scenes seem to contradict each other. Thus, the story becomes more and more confusing as time passes. But that seems to be the point."

"...Steven Dietz's 1991 play is dubbed "a comedy of suspicions," and hinges as much on the doubts of the audience as those of his characters. It is rife with storytelling sleights of hand, encompassing flashbacks, flash-forwards, and flashes of wise, witty, and heated dialogue. The play's theater milieu, where artifice rules, reinforces Dietz's intrigue as he leads his characters - and the spectators - down one narrative rabbit hole after another. What starts off as a convoluted plot, however, eventually leads to a clear but tortured lesson that "the perfect time to hurt someone never comes.""
