ANTHONY Shaffer’s edge-of-your-seat thriller Sleuth comes to the Swan Theatre in Yeovil from 19th to 24th May. Some may remember the 1972 movie, now a classic of its genre, which was filmed at Athelhampton.

The Sway production is directed by Sarah Ambrose, it has Robert Graydon as Andrew Wyke and Chris Williamson as Milo Tindle, with newcomer Shawn Crollisimi as Inspector Doppler. Wyke is a wealthy and eccentric novelist, and the story starts when he invites his wife’s lover, Tindle, to visit his beautiful country house … all very mature and civilised.

But it soon turns into a deadly, and unpredictable, game of cat and mouse, as each man ruthlessly plots his complicated next move. It’s a proper and timeless thriller.

Performances are nightly at 7.45.
