Press Reviews
"An unalloyed pleasure!” - The Stranger“Pichette and Wright have taken a familiar story and invested it with thrills and chills aplenty.” - Seattle Weekly“Delightfully entertaining” - Seattle Met“A fresh, fun new script that makes for a chilling romp.” - Broadway World“A fun-filled, twisted, intelligent portrayal of Doyle’s story” - Vanguard Seattle Theatre“This eye-popping entertainment is as much an homage to canny theatrical storytelling as it is to Doyle’s famed whodunit, scripted faithfully and freely by Pichette and Wright."
