Sleuth
by Anthony Shaffer
Directed by Ciaran Warner and Les Munroe
A
play
written
by
Anthony
Shaffer
in
1970.
Sleuth
won
a
Tony
Award
for
Best
Play
on
Broadway,
and
the
actors
the
Drama
Desk
Award
for
Outstanding
Performance.
The
play
has
been
adapted
for
film
three
times
since
then,
the
most
recent
being
2014.
The
set
is
an
English
manor
house,
the
plot
a
mix
of
games
and
game-playing,
imagination and reality, but where does one finish and the other begin?
There
are
just
two
characters,
both
men,
and
we
are
thrilled
to
have
Ciaran
Warner
and
Rod
Tanner
taking
these
parts.
These
men
are
both
well-known
on
the
TADS
stage
and
are
sure
to
bring
us
a
performance
that
challenges
as
much
as
it
entertains. Is there any such thing as an ‘impossible crime’?.
SLEUTH
will
be
on
stage
at
Te
Aroha
Little
Theatre
from
March
23
through
to
April
1.
Mark
your
diary,
this
one
is
definitely
worth
seeing,
but
then
aren’t
all
our
productions?
