SLEUTH is Anthony Shaffer's 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.
Ticket prices range from $40 - $77. Single tickets are available through the ETC box office at (805) 965-5400, or online at etcsb.org.
