“Nothing is as it seems” – Tony Award Winning Mystery
Connection Newspapers: “Traps and Mystery Galore”: http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2012/may/10/traps-and-mystery-galore-sleuth-arrives/
The Providence Players close their fourteenth season with the Tony Award winning mystery Sleuth.
Written by Anthony Shaffer, Sleuth is the quintessential “whodunit” classic which one critic called just “clean and bloody fun.” Popular mystery writer Andrew Wyke lives in a world that reflects his obsession with games and game-playing – a world of plot twists and intricate strategies. In discovering his wife’s lover, Milo Tindle, Andrew devises a devious game to humiliate him. But even the best laid plans can go astray when the police arrive and a new game begins – a game where revenge is devised and murder is plotted. The ultimate game of cat-and-mouse that will keep you guessing when imagination ends and reality begins – a tremendous mystery thriller.
Winner of the 1971 Tony Award and DramaCritics Circle Award for Best Play.
