By Ernest Kearney — Co-Writers/Co-Directors-Producers Ainsley Ferrell and Hannah Moore have attempted to present a layered murder mystery centered around which two friends may or may not have murdered the husband of one.
This in and of itself is a solid idea. Where the idea breaks down is in the presence of two too many “Co’s.”
The show suffers, and suffers irreparably, from the lack of a director and producer or anyone who could have told them where their effort was lacking. Like they needed to share their voices more to keep half of their dialogue from failing to reach the back row of a very small theatre, and their attempts at over-lapping lines did not emphasize the drama but resulted in a mystery of muddle, which was not the type of mystery they sought.
Ferrell and, especially, Moore both seem to have something to offer as actresses, they just need help in presenting that.
