Sleuth 2016

 

 Director: Dierdre Robinson

 You be the Sleuth!

 

 Another chilling, spine-tingling thriller will open at Sunnybank Theatre Group on Friday 01 April. Sleuth by Anthony Shaffer has one of the most intriguing plots ever presented, and its twists and turns will leave you gasping – did that just happen?

 

Anthony Shaffer was a contemporary  English playwright who is best known for his movie screenplays which included Hitchcock’s Death on the Nile, and Murder on the Orient Express among a long list of credits. Sleuth is his most popular and well-known play. First made into a movie starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, it was remade in 2007, this time with Michael Caine and Jude Law.

 

 The story tells of noted detective writer Andrew Wyke, who, on discovering his wife’s infidelity, invites her new lover, Milo Tindle to visit him to discuss the situation. Instead of being upset and saddened by the news of his wife’s unfaithfulness, it seems that Andrew is quite happy to hand her over to Milo, and the pair set about discussing how this might happen. And so the intrigue begins.
