There is a play I read years ago by Anthony Shaeffer called Murderers which was damn funny but I've never heard of it being produced in the USA. has anyone ever seen a production done over here?
How prescient! MURDERER (I don't believe it is pluralized)will be performed by the Department of Theatre at SUNY Brockport next spring.
I am the Arts Events Manager at this institution of higher learning, and am preparing the season brochure as we speak..... Perhaps an HHW Group Sale is in the offing?
Though I enjoy mysteries, I've never actively seeked them out. In the realm of film, I would have to agree with some of the greater b/w Hitchcock's, but also the all-star Agatha Christie's (in addition to Murder on the Orient Express, don't forget Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun).
On TV, I was a fan of the 70s version of ELLERY QUEEN with Jim Hutton and David Wayne.
I remember seeing CRUCIFER OF BLOOD onstage, but all I remember is Glenn Close, Paxton Whitefish and the boat chase. And, of course, the late lamented ORIGINAL Helen Hayes Theatre.
Fiction-wise, all I can contribute is being a fan of Encyclopaedia Brown. And wait....there was this series of books...all set in P-town...they all had titles that were colors.....COBALT was one. SCARLET was another (Or was it Vermillion? (And was he Castilian? Was he named Lillian? ...I digress.....)) At any rate, it featured a gay private dick - no comments, please - and I want to say the author's name was Alldyne, or something. I am sure they were ghost written by someone, but that is the name i seem to remember. They were fun.
Surely someone out there was a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew fan, either on the page or on TV?
