Someone Who'll Watch Over Me

The Group Rep Theatre
10900 Burbank Blvd. North Hollywood

Set in a cell in Lebanon in the 1980s, three men are taken hostage by a group of Islamic militants. Forced to cope with the daily challenges of fear and uncertainty, the men are thrust into a dangerous emotional climate that shifts between savage fighting, gentle understanding, uproarious laughter and deep grief; an emotional roller-coaster ride through the horrors of captivity, the balm of memory and the unbreakable strength of friendships forged by dire circumstance.

"...Despite director Gregg T. Daniel's success in creating some very powerful moments, there are only so many scenes of imaginary letter-writing, moviemaking, cocktail-drinking, tennis matches and escape fantasies we can sit through before the core message - that all these prisoners have to keep going is their imaginations - starts to give way to a sense of shared incarceration."

"...The Lonny Chapman Theatre occupies a small, not-all-that-easy-to-find building in North Hollywood but it is decidedly worth the effort to watch "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me.""

"...It's these performances, which make this story of emotional, and intestinal fortitude worth seeing. If you want a great night of excellent and moving theatre, run; don't walk to the Lonny Chapman to Someone Who'll Watch Over Me."
