What do you get when you mix a Hitchcock masterpiece, a juicy spy novel, and just a dash of Monty Python?  One of the most clever, exciting, and hysterical plays to come out of Broadway in years! You will be amazed as you watch four incredible actors take on more than 140 characters in a fast-paced whodunit that zips across England and Scotland. Murder, high speed chases, mistaken identities, espionage, and plenty of sexual tension will keep you on the edge of your seat in this loving homage to the classic spy thriller films of the 30’s and the magic of live theatre!
