Open Window, The
H.H. Munro
Comedy/Thriller / 5m, 3f / Interior Van Zandt & Milmore pay tribute to Master of Horror Alfred Hitchcock, with this comedy whodunit.
Off-and-on New York couple Marnie and Jeff enter an even more complicated phase of their relationship when they think they spy their cross-courtyard neighbor do away with his wife.
After they draw their torn curtain, the lady vanishes, and suspicion places murder beyond a shadow of a doubt.
The bumbling witnesses sneak into their neighbor's apartment - 39 steps away - and the fun begins.
Among multiple door-slammings, body-snatchings, and a frantic flashlight chase scene, two questions remain: Who killed Lila Larswald?
And... if she's not dead...then who is?
The crazy farce plays out on a shadow-box set that allows the audience to be present in one apartment, while viewing the action in its mirror-image neighboring unit across the way.
"Take the money and run to this window before it closes!" Two River Times.
"If you're a fan of Rear Window on screen, you'll award Wrong Window on stage a perfect 10.
A barrage of gag-filled dialogue.
Knee-slappingly funny from start to finish!
Take the money and run to this window before it closes!" -Philip Dorian, Two River Times "Fever-pitched one liners, puns, slapstick, pratfalls...There are probably no people in America more adept at conveying these classic comic styles than Van Zandt & Milmore, with their wacky anything for a laugh adventuring and willingness to toss all actorly dignity out the window!" -Tom Chesek, Asbury Park Press
"With snappy dialogue peppered with Hitchcock film titles, allusions and references (there are over twenty), plus laughs aplenty, Wrong Window is a right choice for an evening's entertainment."

"You know it's a good show, when after seeing it you want to see it again!"
— Ashburton Guardian, New Zealand
