Sleuth - A play in English October 25, 2007

About The Play
Naatak is proud to present its 25th production - Sleuth, a play in English - back on stage due to popular demand from our patrons. Critically acclaimed as one of the greatest stage thrillers ever written, Sleuth is a tale of two men from different walks of life entangled in a dangerous web of gamesmanship, manipulation, deception and death. Sleuth was originally written by British playwright Anthony Shaffer and was subsequently made into a movie of the same name with Oscar-nominated performances from Sir Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine. A remake of Sleuth, substantially different from the Shaffer's play, starring Michael Caine and Jude Law is now in theaters. Naatak's version of Sleuth, suitably adapted by director Harish Sunderam Agastya presents the play with an Indian flavor but retains the fast pace, comic wit and spine-chilling twists of the original. Sleuth was previously staged by Naatak in January 2007.
