Crystal Clear by Phil Young opened in 1986 at the Long Wharf Theater's Stage II. The show starred George Ashiotis and Lucia Puccia who played a young actor who is gradually going blind from diabetes and his girlfriend who has been blind from birth. Crystal Clear began as an improvisation on a London pub stage in 1982.
The production had mixed reviews from critics. Mel Gusso said for The New York Times, "It is diagnostic rather than psychologically probing." Another critic said the play was "a wildly unfocused work that tries to cover too vast a terrain" and that it contained "a cornucopia of cliches".

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or clear:
“Opinionated writing is always the most difficult ... simply because it involves retaining in the cold morning-after crystal of the printed word the burning flow of molten feeling.”
—Gavin Lyall (b. 1932)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
