A secret commission. A ticking clock. A decision that can't be undone.

A play by L.B. Deyo, winner of Outstanding Original Script, Austin Theatre Critics Awards 2025-2026.
“OVERSIGHT is an impeccable intellectual thriller given an impeccable staging by The Zahir at Hyde Park Theatre. Everybody in America should see it. Austin writer L.B. Deyo's play uncoils with the audacity of a Hitchcock masterpiece. Marcus McQuirter directs a cast flawless in every detail, who populate a setting as inescapable as the terrifyingly timely narrative.”- Michael Barnes, Austin American-Statesman
“Oversight is the very first production of the Zahir... and the company couldn't have hoped for a more powerful and engrossing debut.”- Brian Paul Scipione, CTX Live Theatre
“Philosophical, political, deeply human and unnervingly timely...an ambitious and provocative and well written work that lingers long after the curtain falls.”- Elise Krentzel, Sun News Austin
“Ambitious... unsettling... maintains a brisk pace... relevant... fascinating... timely... introduces an extraordinary range of ideas... increasingly urgent... thought-provoking... a steadily escalating political thriller.”- Sabrina Wallace, Broadway World Austin
