McNeese Theatre

McNeese Theatre is thrilled to bring this classic play to the Lake Area. Sleuth is described as an "edge-of-your-seat mystery filled with stunning plot twists that is not only an exciting "whodunit" but a fascinating "whodunwhat." "Sleuth juggles a number of themes — deceit, jealousy, game playing, class war, British arrogance, and the humiliation of the outsider." "It's a play full of surprises so you're asked to avoid those who have already seen it: loved ones must be shushed, strangers put politely but firmly in their place. With that being said, it won't hurt you to know that rich and famous Andrew Wyke, an author of mystery novels, invites his wife's young lover, Milo Tindle, to his mansion for a drink. What follows is a deadly chain of events that leaves bodies on the carpet, blood on the stairs and detectives at the door."
