About this deal

On 9 November 2008, the play premiered Off Broadway in New York City starring Keith Carradine as Dr.

After cutting my teeth on the hugely popular show, Robin of Sherwood, I moved on to work with David Suchet and his brilliant portrayal of Hercule Poirot, writing about nine or ten episodes of Agatha Christie's Poirot. CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAGH liked the play describing it as an "Highly entertaining schlock-horror show. She explains that Farquhar is in fact Easterman, who killed most of the staff during a "psychiatric drama" session. Farquhar, who is either the most brilliant of experimental criminal psychiatrists or a homicidal maniac now running the English madhouse laughably known as Fairfields. She cannot undo the strait jacket straps, and as she bends down to get the scalpel from Easterman, he awakens and grabs her, then stabs her behind a curtain.Then to add to this mystery, Nurse Plimpton, behaves oddly, seeming afraid of Dr Farquhar, and secretly attempting to put a note into the hand of Mark Styler. Perhaps because Styler has been thrown off-stride by the slutty getup worn by Nurse Plimpton (Kathleen McNenny, in the Barbara Steele role), he fails to convince the eccentric psychiatrist that his literary intentions are honorable. A thriller that actually manages to thrill, and a very dark comedy that twists and spirals towards a completely unexpected ending. All of the narrative is in the form of a play script but the author also lets us in on things that the more observant audience member may see on set.

He is also a well-known children's author with a dozen books including two collections of horror stories to his name. I’m watching Anthony Horowitz dark psychological thriller play “Mindgame” that has come to the West End at the Ambassador theatre for three weeks only, after a successful UK tour.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. This is a fabulous peice of writting, but having performed this play in 2007, I have to say that the more you read it, the more of what Horowitz intended for you to see is revealled.

Anthony Horowitz is best known for such television programmes as Poirot, Murder Most Horrid, and Midsomer Murders - for wich he has written many episodes. It introduces a detective by the name of Daniel Hawthorne - a rather dark and dangerous man whom I actually met on the set of Injustice. Recently revived in 2016 as part of the Theatre Royal Nottingham’s thriller season, Mindgame later embarked on a limited national tour. A truly gripping thriller [that] keeps you guessing and marveling from its deceptively normal opening to its fearful climax.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Mindgame premiered at the Mercury Theatre, Colchester on 2 September 1999, before transferring to the Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End in 2000. It is a short book but it gets over some of my complaints about short books as I had no problem at all picturing the actors on the described stage and it certainly creates an atmosphere.
