Red Herring

Part love story, part murder mystery, part spy story – and all in the style of film noir – Red Herring is set in 1952. A homicide detective tries to figure out who dumped a body in Boston Harbor as she deals with a Soviet spy, nuclear secrets, and her impending marriage. Written by Michael Hollinger and winner of the 2000 Barrymore award for outstanding new play, Red Herring was first produced by the Arden Theatre Company in Philadelphia.
