Twice adapted into films starring Michael Caine, Anthony Shaffer's play concerns a mystery writer who schemes to trick and befuddle his wife's lover. Set in the manor house of author Andrew Wyke, the home reflects his obsession with the inventions and deceptions of fiction and his fascination with games. Wyke lures Milo Tindle to the house and convinces him to stage a robbery, setting off a chain of events that will leave you trying to figure out where Wyke's imagination ends and reality begins. This production is directed by Jim Petosa, Artistic Director of the Olney Theatre Center. Learn More

Olney did a good job of clearing the parking lot even with the post blizzard mess.

Thought the play didn't stand up well to time.Written on Mar 18 2010
Some performances were fine but the lead Cherie was not good. At times she could barely be heard.
I must say the set was terrific.

THe play is well acted, particularly by the young waittress. It is a play that reflects the time in which it was written and much of the material and character development seem quaint. But given the time, the director got exactly the spirit of this play. I found it very enjoyable.Written on Mar 16 2010

It was a really cute comedy. The young cowboy's character reminded us of someone we know so we laughed even harder. We had great seats only a few rows back from the stage. We've never had a bad experience at the Olney Theater.Written on Mar 23 2010

The set was fantastic. We had great seats up front but could not hear some of the actors who seemed to swallow their words. Overall, though, we enjoyed the production and look forward to visiting the Olney Theater again soon.Written on Mar 22 2010

Description
A small-town diner is in for quite a night when a blizzard strands a busload of unusual passengers on its doorstep. While the diner owner may finally have her chance to scratch a long-held itch for the macho bus driver, the other guests have their own agendas: a lovesick rodeo rider has kidnapped a nightclub singer, a pretentious Ph.D. who is looking for love in all the wrong places, and a Shakespeare-quoting teenage waitress might get her first crack at romance. In the course of a turbulent night, will it be love or mayhem that survives the storm?
Olney is honored to welcome Austin Pendleton to the directorial helm of this production. Mr. Pendleton is an accomplished writer, actor, and director; he has directed three Tony-nominated Broadway productions, written three plays, and won an Obie Award for his acting.
