Gamesmanship abounds in Anthony
Shaffer’s playful mystery Sleuth,
which kicks off the Olney Theatre Center’s summer season. Artistic director Jim Petosa, who is leaving
Olney after 20 years, orchestrated a splendid mix of accomplished acting, clever
lighting, special effects and scenic finery in a fast-paced two-hour production
of this 1971 Tony Award-winning play.
Sleuth opened on
Broadway in November 1970 at the Music Box Theater and ran for 1,222
performances. Shaffer adapted the play
into a film in 1972 starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine and then
another film adaptation occurred in 2007 with Michael Caine and Jude Law as the
co-stars.
