You Cannot Know the Hour -- A one-act play
"You Cannot Know the Hour" is based on fact and fiction across the ages. A psychological thriller in which victim and perpetrator walk a thin line between fantasy and reality. Who is really telling the truth? The audience will decide, perhaps....
Mr. Brown is a grumpy, peevish, ailing, aging man. A widower, he has a housekeeper to keep his home running smoothly. One day, Brown finds that a nurse has been engaged to look after him on a full-time basis.
Brown frequently sees and speaks with the ghost of his dead wife, Helen. . She rebukes him for terrible crimes in his past. He responds by protesting his innocence of any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, he finds himself at odds with his nurse. She frequently contradicts his instructions, almost gleefully. Could she possibly be pursuing a sinister, hidden agenda? If so, what is her objective?
Is Brown irredeemably evil, or is he an innocent?
The lead role of Nurse brings a strange mystique to this eerie compelling role.
In the lead role of Mr. Brown is Raquis DaJuan Petree, a stage and film actor with a long list of credits. Also appearing is Jazmine Ramay, best known for her roles in theater and television, playing Helen (ghost wife of Mr. Brown). Mrs. Clarke the housekeeper is played by Jennifer Skiffington, a seasoned performer on television and stage.
