←Recommendations of Believe Me - V3

Often when we see men abuse their power in pursuit of justice, a little voice pops out of the work. It gleefully points at horrid actions and says, "Don't you see? They're necessary evils." Jack Bauer attempts to turn torture into Superman catching a falling innocent. Here, Rachel Feeny-Williams summons that voice. She lets it whisper, but she doesn't leave it be. A spotlight hits it. Our eyes stay on the characters through tense scenes, but really, we're watching ~it~. "Do the ends justify the means? If 'justice' requires injustice... what then?" How ugly is the voice? Excellent crime thriller.

BBC!? Hello? Suspenseful stage/screen/radio play by Rachel Feeny-Williams calling! The short version was twisty-turny entertainment but the full length weaves you in and out and up and down dark corridors until its satisfying deneument. Murder mystery "fun".

Rachel Feeny-Williams has crafted a mystery that centers on Eddie and Lisa, brother and sister devoted to each other and both holding secrets. A murder puts DI Jenkins in aggressive pursuit of Eddie, the prime suspect. Williams does a great job of keeping us guessing, and although Eddie and Lisa are sympathetic characters, the possibility of their guilt is all too real. No spoilers here, but it’s enough to say, the mystery isn’t predictable. A Believe Me is a compelling mystery with a surprising conclusion.

Wow. This is an incredible tension driven show. A supreme mystery. The tension throughout was palpable. I couldn't stop reading. I didn't want to stop reading. I had to know. All of it. At no point in this amazing show do you feel confident in the innocence of anyone (Except Williams). Rachel Feeny-Williams though also puts everyone in the crosshairs of being a victim or a potential victim (Except Jenkins). I can't even imagine this as an eleven-page script. Not only do I want to see this, I want to direct this, maybe even film it. Wow!

Having read the first, short version of this play I quickly realised it was screaming out to be so much longer, such was the depth of story. Now the author has granted this wish in such a deep, complex and compelling way. Add in so many twists and turns, double crossing and deception you find a TV drama screenplay in your hands! How DI Jenkins would have wished for one day more!

This play keeps you guessing all the way through. Eddie shows up at his sister's house in the middle of the night, running from the law and swearing that he's innocent. A detective with Javert levels of obsession thinks otherwise, and Eddie's sister must decide who to believe. Fast paced and engaging, you will love to watch the mystery unravel!
