There is clearly tension between Casey and Otto, a married couple headed for divorce. That tension only increases with the intrusive introduction of Sam, who works with Otto. But unlike the detective shows that Casey watches even though they are so predictable, “The Detective” is anything but predictable. I felt as if I were the detective trying to decipher characters’ motives and sort out fact from fiction. This is a piece that could make a terrific impact for a theater up to the challenge.
