Notice for play auditions

"Private Eyes" is a comedy of suspicion, a play within a play in which nothing is ever quite what it seems. Matthew and Lisa are rehearsing a play. Lisa may be having an affair with Adrian, the British theatre director. Or perhaps the affair is part of the play being rehearsed. Or perhaps Matthew has imagined all of it simply to have something to report to Frank, his therapist.

And, finally, there is Cory, the mysterious woman who seems to shadow the others, who brings the story to its surprising conclusion. Or does she?

The audience itself plays the role of detective in this hilarious "relationship thriller." Each character takes several opportunities to deceive the others, and the audience is never quite sure whether what they're seeing is real life, a rehearsal, or just imagination.
