Rear Window had never before been performed on stage; it had been written for film. It is a story about a man who, trapped in his apartment by a broken leg, watches his neighbors through his window and believes he has witnessed a murder. How could such activity be translated from the screen? 

In The Masques' Rear Window, virtually all cast members were on stage at all times, the activities within the many apartments going on silently on a two-story-high structure. The main action took place at the front edge of the stage. This was a full-stage production with a large cast.
