Whodunnit
by Anthony Shaffer
Synopsis
This Broadway success by the author of Sleuth takes audiences to Agatha Christie's England.
Six strangers and a butler have gathered for a black tie dinner in a wealthy lawyer's mansion during a thunderstorm.
The guests include an aged rear admiral, a bitchy aristocrat, a doddering old archeologist, a dashing young cad and other Christie types.
One of the guests is an oily Levantine who tells the others (each in private) that he has the goods to blackmail them.
He is ripe for murder and so it happens.
Whodunnit?
Press Reviews
"A torrent of merriment ... heavy with excitement, crackles with repartee, rings the bell with epigrams, and detonates depth charges of laughter.... Converts the theatre into a discotheque of explosive delight ... [with] enough riotous surprises to supply another mystery dramatist with a trunkful of plays."
— New York Magazine
