Cabaret Theatre
Set in 1952, Red Herring, Michael Hollinger's spoof of film noir detective movies, has five interlocking plots – spy story, murder mystery, and three love stories. Mysteries abound as the play unfolds: What happened to Mrs. Kravitz’s husband? If James is really a Soviet spy, what will Lynn tell her mother? Who is the dead body anyway? As the knots of the three convoluted relationships tie and fray, the plot-crossed lovers bumble, subvert and strategize their way to solve the mystery, eventually unravelling their trysts amidst riotous, inescapable tangles.
