As with its debut production, Seven Minutes in Heaven, Colt Coeur developed Fish Eye through a collaborative workshop process with a playwright, Lucas Kavner, and the Colt Coeur company of actors.

According to the creators, "Fish Eye explodes the traditional chronology of romance and offers a modern take on the impossible exhilaration of love — when nothing means everything and everything means nothing — and the entire world shrinks down to a single moment."

Colt Coeur is a New York-based theatre company "dedicated to making original, story-driven, aggressively visceral theatre that pulls you close and doesn't let go."

Colt Coeur's earlier Seven Minutes in Heaven was a New York Times and Time Out New York critic's pick, and played to sold-out houses in New York and at The Huntington Theatre's Emerging America Festival in Boston. The play — created with founding member Steven Levenson — has since been published by Playscripts and is receiving productions throughout the country.

Fish Eye is written by Lucas Kavner, directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt and produced by Amy Groeschel. The ensemble cast includes Katya Campbell, Ato Essandoh, Betty Gilpin and Joe Tippett.

The scenic design for Fish Eye is by John McDermott; costume design is by Jessica Pabst; lighting design is by Grant Yeager; sound design is by Daniel Kluger; properties design is by Amelia Freeman-Lynde; and technical direction is by Markus Paminger. Trisha Henson is the production stage manager.

Lucas Kavner's work includes the musicals Barnes & Noble: Frisco, TX (Ars Nova), Love Money (Dixon Place/NY Fringe), as well as several other short plays read or performed at The Flea, Williamstown Theater Festival, Juilliard, Naked Angels, the Baruch Performing Arts Center, and PTP/NYC.
