Synopsis:
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel by John Buchan (Honorary OLT President in the 30s!), add a dash of Monty Python and you have a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, dozens of zany characters (played by a frenzied cast of four), and good old-fashioned romance!
