BY JOANNEUCHANAN
If you are a person who enjoys a good old-
fashioned 'murder mystery, you will really
enjoy SLEUTH which is presently running
at the Huron Country Playhouse in Grand
Bend. -
SLEUTH is generally considered to be one
of the classics of the mystery genre and also
ranks as one of the greatest suspense
thrillers ever written. It was given the Tony
Award as Best Play of the 1970-71 Broadway
season and- its author, Anthony Shaffer
received the Edgar Award from the
Mystery Writers of America for the Best
Mystery Story of that year.
' SLEUTH has also been made ,into a hit
movie, starring Sir Laurence Olivier and
Michael Caine.
So, with material like this, who can
wrong? Certainly not the Playhouse:
. In its production, Tony Lloyd is eccentric
mystery writer, Andrew Wyke, who finds
out his'wife Marguerite is having an affair
with a younger man by the name of Milo
Tindle. He invites Milo, played by Larry
Aubrey, to his country estate for a friendly
chat and, much to the younger man's
THEATRE REVIEW
surprise, he sanctions the affair and-
outlines
an idea for a jewel robbery which will profit
all, three of them.
From here, the plot takes on a series of
shocking twists and turns to keep the
audience guessing right up until the final
curtain. To reveal anything more would
spoil the many surprises which are in store
for those who have not seen either the play
or the movie.
The roles of Andrew Wyke and Milo Tindle
are very intense and demanding ones and
Lloyd and Aubrey are to be congratulated on
their fine performances.
Another highlight of the play is
Nicholls' very impressive set, the interior
an old manor which emphasizes Wyke's
obsession with games and also conveys a
sense of wealth yet coldness.
SLEUTH continues on the main stage at
the Playhouse until this Saturday. -

Tom does most of the band's song writing.
On occasion, he uses really, old blues tunes
that no-one else would know. He related that
their music seems to appeal to a wide age
group, from eight -ye -olds to 70 year-olds.
As for messages in his music, Tom replied,
"They all have a story. What's a song
without a story?" (I guess that takes care of
Culture Club). He admires many musi-
cians: Freddie King, Huey Lewis, Clarence
Brown, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ray Charles
and Oscar Peterson.
