Red Herring

by Michael Hollinger

directed by Jessica Thebus



March 16 - April 24, 2005



A noir comedy caper filled with intrigue and romance. Its 1952 and Ike and Stevenson are battling for the presidency while McCarthys hearings fill the airwaves. Meanwhile, a head-over-heels in love FBI agent attempts to flush out Soviet spies leaking nuclear secrets, a female police detective stalks a serial killer whose calling card is a Mercury dime, and two mismatched youngsters become engaged amidst political espionage. McCarthyism, murder, and kippered herring create the comic chaos through which three couples must forge the rocky-road of love.



Tickets are for the April 8th 8pm performance. Northlight Theatre is located in the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts at 9501 Skokie Boulevard in Skokie.
