a new play based on
Dashiell Hammett’s famous novel

Sam Spade is a womanizing, down-on-his-luck private eye, going nowhere fast — until a dangerous young woman walks into his life — and his partner is murdered.

The quintessential “hard-boiled detective” story, The Maltese Falcon is known around the world — but this new stage adaptation brings even more excitement and mystery to the story.

Almost word-for-word from Hammett’s novel, it’s a trip down film noir alley — for the stage!
