Local Crime Stories, Local Writers, Local Actors! |
We're thrilled to announce an Evening with Maine Crime Writers! Join us for staged readings by Maine writers.
|
Join us, January 9th at 7:30 pm for a fun-filled WARM UP to Portland Stage’s presentation of Agatha Christies’ Murder on the Links by Steven Dietz. Agatha is often (and deservedly) called the “Queen of Crime.” With more than 2 billion books published, Agatha is outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare and had a big hand in crime/mystery being the top-selling category in fiction.
Christie’s inspired countless crime/mystery writers and we’ll examine how when we present the work of four award-winning Maine crime/mystery writers in rehearsed readings on January 9th. Some of Portland Stage’s favorite actors, directed by Todd Brian Backus will bring the work of these writers to life:
Tess Gerritsen, best-selling author, Nero Wolf Award and Edgar Award nominee is known for the Rizzoli and Isles series and Spy Game (the first of the Camden Martini Club series);
Ron Currie whose latest thriller The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne follows multiple award-winning novels and short stories. Currie’s ‘Babs Dionne is a Franco-American crime matriarch who rules Waterville, Maine with an iron fist”;
Portland’s Bruce Coffin, former PPD (28 years, including time as detective on the Violent Crime Unit) and FBI (on the counter-terrorism unit) turned author who’s been finalist for the Agatha Award, won the Silver Falchion Award and other awards for his Portland Detective Byron Mysteries and short stories;
Jule Selbo, Hollywood screenwriter and author of the Dee Rommel Mystery Series that’s been awarded the Silver Falchion, nominated for Clue Award, Foreword Awards, and listed on Kirkus’ Top Five Crime Fiction novels from Small Publishers. Dee Rommel is a private investigator – illuminating the ‘underbelly’ of Portland.
After the actors bring sections of the writers’ novels to life, there will be a short talk-back about the work, Agatha Christie’s legacy and why crime-mysteries provide the puzzles readers love to solve. And of course – there will be the opportunity to gather in the lobby to grab a signed copy of a Maine writer’s mystery!
Thursday, January 9th, 7:30 pm.
