Recommendations of SLIPPERY AS SIN

  • Tom Rowan: SLIPPERY AS SIN

    This play takes starts with some of the familiar tropes from Agatha Christie mysteries and mixes in elements of farce, macabre visuals, and witty repartee to concoct an especially bubbly brew. There’s even some social satire that might ring relevant in this era of gaslighting and conspiracy theories. It’s an ensemble piece with juicy roles for all, and an especially rewarding tour-de-force lead for a versatile, charismatic actor, playing a legendary detective who may or may not be his own worst enemy.

    I cannot believe how topical this political murder mystery is even though it was written a decade ago! It's gruesome, smart and I laughed out loud on several occasions. Why isn't this show being done everywhere? What a brilliant commentary on the dangers of the truth not being true. Read it!

  • June Ballinger: SLIPPERY AS SIN

    A political allegory that is hilarious! One step in realism and the other is a slightly fantastical world.
    lends itself well to cross racial casting.

  • E. M. Lewis: SLIPPERY AS SIN

    Hilariously funny, but the wonderful dark undercurrents of truth sneak up on you as you go along. Comedy with bite!

  • James Christy: SLIPPERY AS SIN

    David Lee White has as good an ear for theatrical comedy as anyone I know. This play shows it off in spades. The play gets all the drama of a great yarn while turning the genre completely around itself. Great stuff.
