This fast-paced “whodunit” comedy is performed with only four actors—balancing suspense, non-stop comedy, and a good splash of romance. Richard Hannay unwittingly entangles himself with the mysterious Annabella Schmidt, and the next day he wakes to find her dead in his flat. He sets out on the adventure of a lifetime, careening from place to place and muddle to mess. The smash hit from our 2010 season is back by popular demand. This highly stylized theatrical romp will leave you laughing and amazed.
