Synopsis

This clever, award-winning tale has it all:  suspense, comic dialogue, stage action and a satisfying and hilarious surprise ending!  A young thief arrives at the home of a blind woman who lives on an isolated bluff, ostensibly answering an ad about a chair for sale.  Since the ad mentioned the woman was blind and lived alone, John plans on pulling off an easy heist.  But while he’s there, Myra strikes up friendly conversation, cracks jokes and treats him like her own son.  John starts to feel guilty about his plan to rob the lady blind.  But when the old woman brings out a jar full of cash, asking if he’d like to donate to the charity organization for the blind, he can’t resist helping himself to the wad of cash the next chance he gets. Read more...But wait!  Myra’s not the vulnerable victim John thinks she is.  Find out for yourself how a shrewd old woman pulls the wool over the eyes of a wolf in sheep’s clothing in this exceptional comedy with two outstanding, well-developed character roles.
