"The ultimate game of cat and mouse is played out in a cozy English country house owned by celebrated mystery writer, Andrew Wyke. Invited guest Milo Tindle, a young rival who shares Wyke's love for games, declares his intention to run off with Wyke's wife. The two men devise an elaborate revenge/power game; through their style and cunning, the stakes continue to rise, leading to the play's inexorable, heart-stopping finish."

The Granite Theatre hosts a variety of performances for all ages year-round, from classic plays to exciting new productions and special events.
