Dear McCarter Family:

                                                                                                               SLEUTH
Welcome to the fourth play of our season—
thank you for joining us! McCarter has a
                                                                                                presents
wonderful tradition of producing smart,
witty murder mysteries which have thrilled
our audiences. In recent years we have
staged great mysteries from Agatha
Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express to
Arthur Conan Doyle’s Hound of the Baskerville.
This play represents another wonderful McCarter tradition. Adam Immerwahr, a former                            Written by ANTHONY SHAFFER
                                                                                                               Directed by ADAM IMMERWAHR
McCarter Intern and our former Associate Artistic Director is returning to McCarter again.
Adam is also the director of McCarter’s iconic A Christmas Carol and has done a masterful
job directing Sleuth.
We are celebrating Artistic Director and Resident Playwright Emily Mann’s 30th and final
season at McCarter, and having Adam return to McCarter as the director showcases one of
the key tenants of Emily’s time here—our apprentice program for emerging leaders in the arts.   featuring      Derek Smith, John Tufts, Philip Farrar,

Each season apprentices arrive at McCarter from across the country, living in shared housing
while working alongside their professional counterparts. The apprentice program has been
a vital educational stop for many of the country’s leading theatre professionals, as you can
see from these comments from two former apprentices (previously called interns):                               Set Design                                 Alexander Dodge
