"This is a fast paced, high-energy production that is thoroughly enjoyable and is undoubtedly a must-see show" British Theatre Guide
Millionaire mystery writer, Andrew Wyke, invites his wife’s new lover to his country mansion. When young Milo Tindle arrives, Andrew has a proposal for him. His plan would enable both parties to live in the style to which they are, or would like to become accustomed. It’s a win-win situation involving a break in, his wife’s ruby necklace and a clown’s costume!
However, things are not all as they seem and Milo quickly becomes entangled in a web of deceit and manipulation. A battle of wits has drastic consequences and the question is no longer a whodunit, but a whodunwhat?
Sleuth is regarded as one of the greatest stage thrillers, winning the Tony Award for Best Play and inspiring two film versions.
