Sleuth No one does "whodunits" better than the Brits!
Mystery novelist and games-player Andrew Wyke has invited
his wife's lover over for a friendly spot of gin. What starts
out as an innocuous round of cocktails develops into an intriguing
multilayered thriller with twists and turns that will make
you gasp! Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, Sleuth had
1,200 performances on Broadway. See it
and keep the secret
shhhhh! Mother
Hicks Set in southern Illinois, during the great Depression, this play is about three outsiders - - a foundling girl known only as Girl; a deaf boy, eloquent in the language of his silence; and an eccentric recluse, Mother Hicks, who is suspected of being a witch. The tale, told with poetry and sign language, chronicles the journeys of these three to find themselves, and each other, in a troubled time. Provocative productions through North America have revealed the power and appeal of this play. Incorruptible Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D.: The river flooded
again last week. The chandler's shop just burned to the ground.
Nobody's heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And Ste. Foy, the patron
of the local monastery, hasn't worked a miracle in thirteen
years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark.
All eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely
encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the
abbey to its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims
to possess the relics of Ste. Foy-and "their" bones
are working miracles. All seems lost until the destitute monks
take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches
them an outrageous new way to pay old debts. |
