WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Unseen is notable writer of stage and television Craig Wright's (TV's Lost, Dirty, Sexy Money, and the theatre's Recent Tragic Events and The Pavilion, et al.) psychological potboiler about two prisoners trying to crack the code of their cryptic imprisonment by a brutal, totalitarian regime.
Only familiar to each other by their voices, the two men keep each other mentally and emotionally going through the cell walls as they share stories of their interrogations and torture, putting the pieces together about who their captors are and what it would take to get out. The puzzle is further complicated with the introduction of a new prisoner placed near them who only poses more questions than answers.

The play instead becomes an oddly touching meditation on faith, and what happens when everything you thought you knew turns out to be wrong.
Wallace (Steven Pounders) and Valdez (Stan Denman) have been on the same cell block for nearly 10 years, able to talk but unable to see one another. They pass the time playing memory games, trying to keep their minds sharp. Wallace, the more intellectual of the two, even believes th[...]
