by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth

Longtime musical theatre collaborators Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, who together created the landmark musical Company, have joined forces again to create a compellingly original thrillerMr. Sondheims first nonmusical play. Getting Away with Murder unfolds on a stormy night on Manhattans 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 a classic whodunit in the tradition of Sleuth and The Mousetrap that harkens back to Sondheims screenplay collaboration with Anthony Perkins on the cult film The Last of Sheila. Getting Away with Murder, originally produced at San Diegos Old Globe Theatre, was produced on Broadway in 1996.
