The exciting and sexy thriller Perfect Crime is the longest-running non-musical play in New York City history, having just recently celebrated its 10,000th performance. The whodunit unfolds in the secluded Connecticut mansion of Harvard-educated psychiatrist Margaret Brent, who's accused of murdering her wealthy British husband, and soon finds herself matching wits with a handsome detective. Catherine Russell, as Brent, has played every performance but four since the show opened in 1987, which earned her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

I enjoyed this play. I really enjoyed the set, felt very intimate and I liked the acting. Some of the lines were strange, things were a little weird / racey but it was entertaining.Written on Jan 17 2011
I thought the lead actress screamed her lines but she was interesting, she was good. The first part of the play left me wondering what happened. Isn't that what you want from a mystery? It wasn't confusing - the facts were laid out - it might have been confusing in the sense that you couldn't figure out what had happened but if you could, how good would it be?
By the end, I understood what had happened. Maybe there was loose end or two but for the most part, I got it and I kind of had that "aha" moment. I would recommend it if people were looking for a real small theatre, ny experience, especially at Goldstar prices.
I will say that I was happier knowing I did not pay full price since the seating is a little less than ideal (you cannot see over the people in front of you, you kind of have to look around them).
Although, the person seating us was nice enough to offer seats further up once everyone had come in. I really liked that.

I'll start by saying that I did enjoy the actors. As others have said, it was confusing, but in a good way. It is not a flat out 'someone was murdered now whodunit' kind of play/mystery. It was an enjoyable, sometimes funny, and a bit quirky kind of evening.Written on Aug 21 2010

The play was very well acted and the sets were nice but I agree with other reviewers that the ending is a little hard to figure out.Written on Mar 29 2010

The plot was a little mixed up. I am a murder mystery buff, but the presentation of the facts and ideas was unclear. For the price it was ok, but I would not recommend it to anyone.Written on Oct 20 2008
