Mystery Caper and Film Noir Blend with EMIL AND THE DETECTIVES at Segerstrom Center
Go on a journey of self-discovery with Emil and the Detectives April 4 and 5 in Samueli Theater as part of the Center's imaginative 2019-2020 Family Series. Australia's celebrated Slingsby Theatre Company performs a poignant coming-of-age story that combines the thrilling intrigue of a classic mystery caper with an evocative film noir design, complete with smoke and mirrors, miniature worlds and a cinematic score. Based on the 1929 novella by German writer Erich Kästner, Emil & the Detectives explores the value of friendships, taking risks and the empowerment of young people.
