Synopsis

Longtime musical theatre collaborators Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, who together created the landmark musical Company, have joined forces again to create a compellingly original thriller - Mr. Sondheim's first nonmusical play.

Getting Away with Murder unfolds on a stormy night on Manhattan's Upper West Side at a group therapy session.

The patients arrive only to find that their faithful, Pulitzer Prize-winning psychiatrist is missing.

What unfolds is a classic whodunit in the tradition of Sleuth and The Mousetrap that harkens back to Sondheim's screenplay collaboration with Anthony Perkins on the cult film The Last of Sheila.
