The play is about Richard, a young man in trouble, who cannot remember his past, and Louise, a friend, who comes to visit. Having flirted with death, a young man has crash landed into a state mental hospital, where he sits silently in the dayroom. He has lost his sense of touch and his ability to focus his eyes and his attention. In Russell Davis's APPOINTMENT WITH A HIGHWIRE LADY, the patient ... is gradually drawn back into life by a friend from his past ... Mr Davis is subtle and unsentimental in telling a story about two people trying to find a connection that has previously eluded them. The play ... has a sensitive awareness of the renewable vitality within an interrupted relationship. In extremis, says the playwright, can come understanding. -Mel Gussow, The New York Times There's so much good writing in Russell Davis's APPOINTMENT WITH A HIGHWIRE LADY ... During it's penultimate moment, APPOINTMENT WITH A HIGHWIRE LADY achieves a level of descriptive prose rarely seen on a stage ... all of Davis's ideas merge into an ornate tapestry and the delicacy of his weaving becomes, for the first time, apparent. -Bob Harrington, New York Post
