SLEUTH, being a thriller of sorts, may be best viewed by a novice, where its many intricacies of plot can be better appreciated, although that may be increasingly difficult to accomplish with the recent cable TV airings of the 2007 film remake. However, that attitude would be doing a disservice to Shaffer's witty script, which offers up a steady stream of delicious and sharply barbed dialogue to enjoy. The Rep's current production is a dazzling show that engages the viewer from start to finish. Even someone familiar with the outcome will enjoy this performance-driven presentation.
