Getting Away With Murder by Stephen Sondheim

Getting Away With Murder by Stephen Sondheim

A compellingly original comedy thriller, and Sondheim's first ever non-musical play - written with George Furth, his collaborator on the musical Company.

The story unfolds on a stormy night on Manhattan's Upper West Side, at a group therapy session. The patients arrive only to find that their faithful, Pulitzer Prize-winning psychiatrist is missing. What unfolds is no less than a classic whodunit...
