Sleuth

It’s been said to be the world’s greatest thriller and, shamefully, I wasn’t aware of Anthony Shaffer’s Sleuth until I saw it last night at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. And what a fantastic play it is. As a thriller, it was quite intriguing, and it was certainly sad that the theatre was very empty (then again, it’s a Friday before Christmas, so maybe people don’t go to plays). There were some mixed reviews for the original cast, and I am not sure what the critics would make of Ian Ogilvy and Jonathan Kerrigan. I thought they did a great job, and I was hooked. As it’s not too busy, theatrenow is a great place to get discount tickets a couple of days before you want to see it.

On this day…
