I enjoyed the play - great job by the two actors. Interesting plot and the second half was both humorous and intriguing. I also liked the venue; nice job and great seats.
The McAninch Arts Center houses three theaters: the 793-seat Mainstage, where no seat is more than 16 rows, or 75 feet, from the stage; Theatre 2, a 186-seat hall featuring a "soft thrust" stage; and the Studio Theatre, a versatile, black-box performance space. Adjacent to the Mainstage lobby is the Gahlberg Gallery, a 90' x 25' space for visual art exhibition.
Sleuth
by Anthony Shaffer
directed by Bryan Burke
This Tony Award-winning play features Andrew, a wealthy, middle-aged mystery writer who wraps young upstart Milo in a spider web of a murder plot. Andrew invites Milo onto his estate for the weekend, and, since this young man has been having an affair with his wife, the games then begin, but he’s underestimated Milo’s abilities. The action that develops is a fluctuation between humor and terror.
