WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Pulse Ensemble Theatre presents Edward Percy and Reginald Denham's rarely-produced gothic mystery Ladies in Retirement, directed by Amnon Kabatchnik, a seasoned director who is one of the nation's foremost authorities on theatrical murder mysteries and the author of three books on the subject.
Ladies in Retirement is based on a famous murder in France in the 1880s. The play, while biting and funny, reflects the plight of powerless, impoverished women facing lives of desperation with no social or financial support. Set in an isolated cottage near Gravesend, in Victorian England (1885) sinister changes are set into motion when housekeeper Ellen Creed brings her two needy sisters to visit the lonely house she shares with her colorful mistress Leonora Fiske.

Great show
This is an excellent production. The acting is first rate...refreshing in this day and age. Two standout performances are by Carol Lambert and Burt Grinstead. The sets and costumes are outstanding. It is a good old fashioned thriller. Very enjoyable...if only Broadway could do something this good.
