The Long Goodbye
Private eye Marlowe untangles a friend's death and a writer's disappearance — an original mystery between stage and life.
About a long goodbye,
and truth on and off the stage.
Marlowe's friend Terry dies after a murder accusation; Marlowe refuses to believe his guilt. A famous writer's wife hires him to find her missing husband Roger — and the two cases entwine. Partially adapted from Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye.
Onstage, Marlowe and Lu Ren, Guo and the detectives in the fiction slip between real and staged — meeting is quick, knowing someone is slow, and goodbye weighs heavy.
"The world is but a stage, and people wear masks to play their parts."Onstage and off — The Long Goodbye.
