spider's web

Directed by c. luke soucy
“Princeton residents who have taken a liking to the McCarter’s recent productions of Christie will not be disappointed. This is a delightful, intimate piece, with the ebullient charm of an entertaining and mysterious dinner guest from the past.”
World-renowned crime novelist and playwright Agatha Christie brilliantly blends the genres of mystery, comedy, thriller in this fantasia on her typical whodunit work. Spider’s Web follows eccentric socialite Clarissa, who discovers a man murdered in her drawing room, having spent years spinning extraordinary tales of mystery to anyone who would listen. Drenched in suspense with surprising moments of levity and wit, Spider’s Web offers a unique and rewarding departure from the usual Christie canon.
“The PST production in the hands of director Luke Soucy and a wonderful company of eight actors agrees with the public’s response and will provide you with a delicious evening.”
