at Kanata Theatre: A Fine Production of an Outdated Play
By Anthony Shaffer
Kanata Theatre
Directed by Beverley Brooks
Often called the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Anthony Shaffer’s Sleuth was a smash hit when it premiered in London’s West End in 1970 and won a Tony and other awards on Broadway the following year. It was also made into a movie — in 1972, 2007 and 2014 — the most effective version the first of the three, which starred Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine.
