Director’s Notes

This one's for my mother. Not only because she was a Brit, but because she loved mysteries and thrillers and every form of whodunits. She was a devotee of the genre, devouring everything from Sherlock Holmes to John Le CarrJ. Our apartment was littered with the browning, cracking paperbacks of Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Erle Stanley Gardner, Raymond Chandler, Georges Simenon, Ira Levin, Ross MacDonald, Len Deighton, P.D. James, Dick Francis, even the collected works of Edgar Allan Poe. She must have watched every episode of Perry Mason, Ellery Queen, Alfred Hitchcock, and Murder, She Wrote at least five times. Once, as a kid - I think I was 11 or 12 - I asked her, "Mom, why do you love mysteries so much?" She crinkled her eyes, flashed me a very British Cheshire grin, and said, "Finish your Brussels sprouts." After working on this play, with these creative people, at this beautiful theatre, I think I understand what that grin was all about; and I've no doubt she would have loved Rupert Holmes and this play. Oh, by the way, if you feel something brush past you during the show, don't worry, that's just mom looking for a good seat.
