Sleuth

For the first time, Shaw Festival is coming to Harbourfront Centre with a brand new theatre residency, bringing some of Shaw’s most celebrated productions to Toronto’s waterfront.
This fall, audiences will have the opportunity experience Shaw’s acclaimed production of Sleuth by Anthony Shaffer, right here at Harbourfront Centre.
A love letter to the classic crime thriller, Sleuth is packed with razor-sharp dialogue and psychological games that will keep you guessing until the very end. When a celebrated mystery writer invites his wife’s lover to his secluded English country estate, what begins as a seemingly civilized encounter quickly spirals into a dangerous contest of wit and manipulation. But who is really in control, and who is playing whom?
Directed by Peter Fernandes, this gripping production stars Patrick Galligan as Andrew Wyke and Sepehr Reybod as Milo Tindle, delivering a riveting battle of intellects in one of the most acclaimed suspense plays ever written.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of whodunits or discovering Sleuth for the first time, don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience a Shaw Festival production that honours the enduring legacy of classic suspense theatre.
