SLEUTH is Anthony Shaffers exquisitely constructed play of cat-and-mouse games was a hit on Broadway in the late 1960s and the basis for two hit movies (both starring Michael Caine). SLEUTH centers on two ruthless men, locked together in a deadly power struggle. Set in the home of Andrew Wyke, an immensely successful mystery writer. Wyke's home reflects his obsession with the inventions and deceptions of fiction and his fascination with games and game-playing. He lures his wife's lover, Milo Tindle, to the house and convinces him to stage a robbery of her jewelry, a proposal that sets off a chain of events that leaves the audience trying to decipher where Wyke's imagination ends and reality begins.We close our season with one of the greatest thrillers ever written for the stage, said ETCs Artistic Director, Jonathan Fox. We have assembled a dream cast and, under the extraordinary vision of ETC favorite Jenny Sullivan coupled with an extraordinary design team, our subscribers and audiences will be kept on the edge of their seats until the very final seconds of this legendary masterwork.
