Play-reading. Adaptation by John Strysik.
Edgar Allan Poe’s character Auguste Dupin is widely acknowledged to be the first modern fictional detective. Playwright John Strysik calls The Case-book of Auguste Dupin “a play in three mysteries,” specifically The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, and The Purloined Letter.
The cast includes Eric Keitel (as Dupin), Kurtis Bedford, Mandy Fason, John Combs, and David Hunt Stafford.
Stage directions: David Datz.
