With its focus on surveillance and moral responsibility, the work seems remarkably timely. Unfortunately, Kate Harris' adaptation of The Conversation -- first seen in Chicago in 2005 and now being directed by Leo Farley at 29th Street Rep -- has not found the right balance between a rigid adherence to Coppola's original script and reinterpreting the work specifically for the stage.
