 ‘VISIT’ A Bristling Tale About the Quality of Justice

by  
Don Shirley (Times Staff Writer)

Think Bette Davis.  It’s impossible not to think of the late great star  
when you watch Nancy Linehan Charles’ performance as Claire, the  
avenging fury.  Charles is virtually a dead ringer for Davis----in her  
steely command and acerbic humor as well as her looks.


HIDDEN TREASURE:  Driving down Venice Blvd., it’s easy to miss the  75-seat arena of Pacific Resident Theatre.  But the company’s new  
revival of Friedrich Duerrenmatt’s “The Visit” demands attention.  The  
action is just inches from your face in this jolting tale of a woman’s  
revenge.
