Description
Sleuth: A Play is a gripping thriller that masterfully weaves together suspense and satire. This audacious play mercilessly parodies the Agatha Christie country-house thriller genre, using its technical devices to full effect. At its core, Sleuth is a dramatic study of complex relationships and psychological conflict, exploring themes of jealousy and sexual tension between two men. The play's clever plot twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. Fully illustrated with stills from the film adaptation, this edition provides a unique insight into the making of a cinematic classic.
