Getting Away With Murder
About this book
“ Getting Away with Murder is more fun than a roomful of Agatha Christies.” —Daily News Longtime musical theatre collaborators Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, who together created the landmark musical Company , have joined forces again to create a compellingly original thriller—Mr. Sondheim’s first nonmusical play. Getting Away with Murder unfolds on a stormy night on Manhattan’s Upper West Side at a group therapy session. The patients arrive only to find that their faithful, Pulitzer Prize-winning psychiatrist is missing. What unfolds is a classic whodunit in the tradition of Sleuth and The Mousetrap that harkens back to Sondheim’s screenplay collaboration with Anthony Perkins on the cult film The Last of Sheila . Getting Away with Murder , originally produced at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre, was produced on Broadway in 1996.
