Sleuth at Classic Theatre Festival

An ingenious story of a mystery writer whose obsession with the inventions and deceptions of fiction and his fascination with games and game-playing sets off a very dangerous and deadly chain of events. This rollercoaster of a thriller – equal parts mischievous humour and gripping anticipation – “continually puts the dramatic pedal to the metal, drawing audiences to the edge of their seats as they try to keep one step ahead of the increasingly desperate characters’ life-and-death, cat-and-mouse battle of wits.”  This Tony Award winner for Best Play was described by the Times of London as "the most fiendishly clever thriller ever written for the stage."  It plays at Arts Court Theatre Wed. to Sun at 1:30 pm, and Wed., Thurs. & Sat. at 7:30 pm
