Review: ‘Sleuth’ is a riveting tête-à-tête of toxic male dynamics at Theatre Three
Pardon the delay as Theatre Three’s Sleuth head into its fourth weekend. Those holidays really throw things off. But don’t sleep on the company’s thrilling production in its Theatre Too space because not only does the show provide a classic cat-and-mouse tale of jealousy and cunning, but it’s also a showcase of immense talent across its two-actor cast of Malcolm Stephenson and Benjamin Stegmair.
The show began by introducing mystery author Andrew who is finalizing his latest book at his clearly sprawling estate surrounded by dark wood ambiance and elegant masculine decor.
He is visited by the younger Milo at his request. Through his proper British sophistication, he confronts Milo who has become the lover of Andrew’s wife.
Andrew surrenders his wife by concocting a plan for Milo to burgle some jewelry on the estate that would set them up for a comfortable life that his wife is used to.
