Overview

"Thirty-five year old Kate is a professor of Ethics, with only one rule for her students-do not lie to her. She asks her students to answer the question, ""Is your greatest ethical responsibility to yourself, or others?"" However, as Kate and her husband struggle to have a baby, she finds herself unable to answer it as she faces an ethical dilemma of her own. A new play exploring womanhood, motherhood, and the space between right and wrong. ""SECRET HOUR is a masterly, thoroughly involving theatrework; rich in humor and compassion for characters who ring with the authenticity of life."" The Berkshire Eagle ""Stafford's dialogue is fiery and incredibly smart, peppered with genuine humor, humanity and honest emotion. Funny, smart and engaging. Highly recommended. A gem."" The Daily Gazette ""SECRET HOUR is quick, funny and smart in an engaging way."" Trans Union ""Stafford's play is a story of true love and its cost through human nature...a delectable comedy."" The Berkshire Edge ""The show invites you in, to watch the cracks and lies in their lives burst through their veneers. It is performed with great humor, strong delivery, and a large serving of sadness and deceit. It is engaging, fun, sad, and emotional...SECRET HOUR is a very satisfying time spent at the theatre."" Nippertown Review ""A wise, perceptive work. It is an enjoyable parable about the search for the authentic life about which Kate teaches. As all parables, the plot is simple, until examined. The success of the play is in the balance playwright Stafford finds in the story. Thankfully, Stafford leavens what could be a dreary work about truth, right and wrong, and authenticity by adding a lot of humor. Though it cannot be called a comedy, you will laugh more than at most plays that do call themselves comedies. SECRET HOUR might not change your life...but it could."" Troy Record"
