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.
