Sleuth

by Anthony Shaffer

Directed by Michael Evan Haney


October 14–November 8, 2009

Andrew Wyke, a prominent English mystery writer, invites young Milo Tindle to his isolated, elaborate country house to settle a rather unpleasant bit of business: Milo is having an affair with Wyke’s wife. Filled with more thrills, turns and twists than ten typical mysteries, this Tony Award-winning delicious puzzle will keep you guessing until the very end, as the pair engage in a deadly and increasingly complex game of cat and mouse.

Here's one of the best mystery stories ever written for the stage. Shaffer claims he was inspired by his puzzle-obsessed friend Stephen Sondheim, but these games become deadly dangerous. Don't you dare give away the secret of the plot!
