Katie said: “This Tony-winning drama is so captivating that it has been captured on film twice.

“It’s clever plotting, psychological tension, and the interplay of class and personality between its two central characters work so well on stage that this production is definitely a must-see for crime drama fans.

“Tension brews in Shaffer’s script, with dialogue bouncing back and forth between the characters and our talented cast deserves much praise for the their dedication.
