Recuperating from a broken leg, photojournalist L.B. Jefferies (Tristan Claxton) spends his days cooped up in his NYC apartment, watching his neighbours through the rear window of his home. What starts out innocently enough quickly grows into a dangerous obsession, as Jefferies hopped up on painkillers and too much alcohol becomes convinced hes witnessed one of his neighbours commit a brutal murder. Has Jefferies really solved a terrible crime? Or have his inner demons finally got the best of him?Based on the short story It Had To Be Murder by Cornell Woolrich, the same tale that inspired the 1954 Hitchcock film, Rear Window (James Stewart, Grace Kelly), The Rear Window takes a new look at this classic tale of a peeping Tom who saw more than he wanted to see. Still set in the 1950s, the play's relevancy to today is undeniable in a world where many of us waste away our hours "spying" on others through social media, making our own stories and assumptions based on these small glimpses of a persons life. A gripping, psychological thriller that will leave you guessing until the final moments whether or not what we're seeing can truly be believed.
