Meadow Brook Theatre Set for MINDGAME
'Mindgame' thrills playgoers at Meadow Brook Theatre from February 10 to March 7 - Twists and turns keep audiences guessing during this Michigan Premiere.
The most infamous resident at The Fairfields, asylum for the criminally insane, is Easterman, a notorious serial killer. All Mark Styler, writer of "true crime" paperbacks, wants is to interview Easterman for his latest book. First, Styler must make it past Dr. Farquhar, who makes it clear he is the one with all the power. Styler begins to suspect things aren't as they seem, but will he figure it out in time to save himself? Or will be become The Fairfields' latest victim?
Written by Anthony Horowitz, "Mindgame" will keep audiences guessing until the final curtain.
Regular playgoers at MBT will recognize the cast of "Mindgame" as some of their favorite actors make return appearances. Loren Bass ("The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "A Christmas Carol") plays Mark Styler, Mark Rademacher ("A Christmas Carol" and "Ride Down Mount Morgan") is Dr. Alex Farquhar, and Inga R.
