Mary Roberts Rinehart’s play The Bat is a murder mystery thriller original set in 1927, though this production places the action in 1954. This tense, well-plotted murder mystery is an adaptation of Rinehart’s best-selling first novel, The Circular Staircase, which launched her career as “the American Agatha Christie”, ran as a play on Broadway and inspired several film adaptations, including a silent movie. A must-see for fans of the “whodunit” genre.
