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

We ate before leaving home and that seemed advisable as the snack stand was quite rudimentary.

really good production--the actors were all excellent. We enjoyed to simple scenery/ staging, which kept the focus on the shifting relationships among the characters. Good selections of music, too.Written on Jul 04 2011

The play takes you immediately into the rarefied world of the professional string quartet. You are quickly drawn into the dramas faced by 4 (actually 5) people whose lives are intertwined for better or for worse. The actors do a fine job of getting you interested in the fate of these 5 people.Written on Jul 04 2011
