Overview
Another ATI World Premiere, this new musical adaptation of the famous Dashiell Hammett novel and Humphry Bogart movie finds hard-boiled detective Sam Spade wrestling with ghosts, his conscience and the truth the night before his fateful deposition in the biggest case of his life. In the farcical tradition of THE 39 STEPS, this send-up of the film noir genre features all of the elements of the classic story including rough-around-the-edges Sam Spade, his long-suffering assistant Effie, femme fatale Brigid O’Shaughnessy, the scheming Mr. Cairo and bumbling Mr. Gutman all chasing down the stolen diamonds hidden in the statue of a menacing bird.
