*The John Hirsch Theatre Mainstage

Adapted from the 1931 novel by Dorothy Sayers, Strong Poison opens during the trial of Harriet Vane, a mystery novelist accused of murdering her ex-lover. In a case that could be straight out of one of her own books, Vane’s proclaimed innocence is believed by no one other than the dashing Lord Peter Wimsey, an amateur sleuth and supporter of feminist ideals. Will Lord Peter track down the real killer in time and win the heart of the free-thinking Harriet? Or will the evidence be as hard to secure as the hand of a best-selling author? A whodunit that would stump even Sherlock Holmes, Strong Poison will keep you guessing until the last minute.
