Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A seamstress is catapulted into a new life, new house, and new government job. But good fortunes quickly change when her new position attracts unexpected guests and reveals more secrets about herself than about political conspiracies. "Intar has such a lock on plays by disgruntled Cubans that references to U S bumbling on the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis echo throughout much of the company's work. Rogelio Martinez breaks with tradition by setting ALL EYES AND EARS between those two events and aiming his satirical barbs at the Soviet Union. He also takes a novel approach to another perennial theme of displaced Cubans - rage at countrymen who turned communist informers - by writing a role for a vengeful ghost. Even in this uneven production, the playwright earns points by finding new twists on old topics." -Marilyn Stasio, Variety "The fear that suddenly rushes down your spine when you're alone in the dark and realize that someone or something may be watching you or that someone or something might jump out and attack you can be extended into the fear of character assassination. After all, this sort of attack is an attack in the dark - you don't know what people are saying about you when you're not there. In ALL EYES AND EARS, playwright Rogelio Martinez brilliantly uses this fear to create a dynamic power struggle that stirs your senses scene by scene." -Richard Hinojosa, nytheatre.com
