Sleuth

One of the greatest ever stage thrillers, which ran for a total of 12 years in London and New York, winning the Tony Award for Best Play and inspiring the hugely successful film starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine (remade in 2007 by Kenneth Branagh with Jude Law), makes its much anticipated return for an extraordinary revival.

Starring Simon MacCorkindale, best known for his roles as consultant Harry Harper in BBC's Casualty, the hit TV series Falcon Crest, Manimal and Michael Praed, veteran of the television classics Robin of Sherwood and Dynasty.

In this aduacious revival of Anthony Shaffer's masterpiece a man arrives at the impressive home of a famous mystery writer, only to be unwittingly drawn into a tangled web of intrigue and gamesmanship, where nothing is quite what it seems...

This dark psychological 'thriller about thrillers' and intriguing study of human conflict, proves to be far more than a 'whodunnit' and promises to baffle even the most proficient sleuth!
