I had the wonderful opportunity to see Sleuth at Great Lakes Theater in Cleveland on March 7, 2020. Check out my review below!
Bring him to his knees, make him think about his actions, toy with his mind and all of his prized
possessions. Truly, how can one bring down a man with only one move left? Play the game that
works or try something new. This is the test of a man’s fate.
One might argue the finer things in life seem to have a hold on the world’s richest estates, though the latter believes it is only right to give someone what they are due. We may laugh at the opportunity to become a rebel, yet many are persecuted for beliefs that are not always discovered. Should love and lust drive the obstacle course of life? How can one really play fair when it is all a disguise?
Milo Tindle (Jeffrey C. Hawkins) surely knew what it was like to play a little tug of war. Entrapped by the cause and effect of his love for another man’s wife, he sees no wrong in playing tit for tat in the battle of the mind with Andrew Wyke( David Anthony Smith), a cunning sense of treasury met with the strangest delight for torturing thoughts. Should he be penalized for such fantasy? After all games are fun. If looks could kill, Milo is stunning, dressing his way into a thrill.
Is it really for the love of the game or has revenge offered up a way to escape the agony of losing at life and matrimony? Milo finds out as Andrew gives him a taste of pleasure and pain. Though he has been unfaithful in his own affairs, any competition will prove to send him off the cliff. Tindle, a man of second chances keeps up with this wild chase but is he good enough to win? What is in a man’s heart is not always seen but felt. In this case, feeling the way through to survival.
With this mystery, we learn the perplexity of humanity when the stakes are high. A moral compass exists for everyone to obtain, yet we blindly put on the mask when being moral isn’t convenient. When two are wrong, who can make it right? Justice in the hands of man is often subjective. Let’s let a sleuth decide, or will he too become a victim of the game?
