Flemming: An American Thriller
The studio production "Flemming: An American Thriller" will run Oct. 31- Nov. 3.
Writeen by Sam Bobrick and directed by senior Maddie McCobb, show times are 7:30 p.m. Thur-Sun.
Bored by his privileged, but mundane life, Henry Flemming sells his lucrative brokerage firm to become a detective.
On his very first case, and to the horror of his wife and his two crazy neighbors, the Flemming living room begins to fill up with dead bodies. Even though Henry keeps showing up at home every day more disheveled and beaten up, he couldn't be happier. Henry is convinced he's found his life's work and Westport, Connecticut is safer for it.
The play is a spoof of the film noir thrillers from the 1940s and 50s. (Samuel French Theatricals)
