By Noel Coward
Broadway playboy Garry Essendine is on the verge of a mid-life crisis, but not if his whip-smart secretary, doting valet, and sarcastic-yet-patient ex-wife have anything to say about it! This much-loved play has all the hallmarks of a great farce: plenty of doors, misunderstandings, and witty wordplay – as only the great Noel Coward can deliver.
Playing this June 12 - 28
In this noir classic, detective Sam Spade gets more than he bargained for when he takes a case brought to him by a beautiful but secretive woman. As soon as Miss Wonderly shows up, trouble follows as Sam's partner is murdered and Sam is accosted by a man demanding he locate a valuable statuette. Sam, entangled in a dangerous web of crime and intrigue, soon realizes he must find the one thing they all seem to want: the bejeweled Maltese falcon.
