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

Excellent acting, beautiful set, witty, and a lot more physical comedy than is typical in Shaw plays.Written on Oct 11 2010

Description
Written by George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Jack Going
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, wealthy underwear merchant John Tarleton, his wife and adult children, Johnny and Hypatia, host a small party at their country estate. The invited guests include Hypatia’s prospective husband — a well-meaning, if wimpy, son of an aristocrat. Is it a match? As Hypatia longs for excitement and a break from convention, adventure falls from the sky…literally! An airplane crash brings unexpected visitors, and with them comes more excitement (and suitors) than Hypatia bargained for.
