Red Herring at Washington Stage Guild

“What J. Edgar doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” “Hoover knows everything. He’s like Santa.”

A madcap, irreverent farce of spy versus counter-spy, set in the cold war and involving everything from the H-Bomb to the FBI to Joseph McCarthy’s daughter! Irreverent and hilarious, and by the writer of some of the Stage Guild’s biggest hits: Incorruptible, An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf, and Opus.
