off the WALL Productions presents a psychological mystery
Through Nov. 1
‘The Small Room at the Top of the Stairs’
off the WALL Productions, Carnegie, continues its mission of producing plays by, for, and about women with “The Small Room at the Top of the Stairs,” a psychological mystery by Canadian playwright Carole Fréchette and starring Diana Michelle Griffith and Ken Bolden.
“Somewhere in an enormous house, there is a hidden staircase” … And thus begins Carole Fréchette’s play, a contemporary variant of the Bluebeard legend. In their 28-room mansion, newlywed Grace finds herself irresistibly drawn to the one mysterious room her husband Henry has forbidden her to enter. She stumbled into a fairy-tale marriage, complete with her own Prince Charming and resplendent home, but it could all come apart if she chooses to defy his wishes. Can Grace resist temptation, and other’s voices ringing in her ears, or will she let her curiosity get the best of her and confront the secrets of the man she loves?
Performances run at 8 p.m. Oct. 23-25, 30-31 and Nov. 1. There will be a 3 p.m. matinee on Oct. 26.
