I went and saw the play Private Eyes on October 11th performed by students here at Stockton. I personally thought the show was magnificent. I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters and the twists and turns that the plot took. There weren’t many people there, but the actors were still very enthusiastic and put their all into it.

I went and saw this with two of my friends and they also really enjoyed it. We all didn’t see a whole bunch of the surprises coming and we didn’t even want to leave during the intermission. They play was hilarious too, we laughed at all the jokes, even some of the unintentional mistakes, like when the match box bounced out of the tray. The best part about any of the mistakes were that the actors remained professional through and through and were not even phased by anything slightly out of place.

Not only was the script well written and performed, the stage and costumes were amazing. They all looked the part and the stage was brilliantly set up. I’ve seen many plays and the Experimental Theater looks like a professional stage and they certainly treated it like one. They had limited props on the stage and that just brought the focus back onto the cast members much more. Especially at the end, where it’s just the two of them on stage without any props what so ever.

As convoluted and confusing as the plot was, there were the ever so slight indicators that brought forward the true plot. I won’t spoil anything for anyone in case they get the opportunity to see this play elsewhere, but you won’t get such a great cast or performance as I did here. Next chance you get to go see a play performed here, take it. The actors here are well work the few dollars they charge to go see them in their prime.
