This wild and crazy spoof of the detective story told in the noir style of the 1950’s, will have you in stitches. "Red Herring" is a comedy-mystery filled with Russian spies, murder, espionage, exploding devices and, of course, three love stories. 

It's 1952: America is on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower is on the campaign trail, and "I Love Lucy" is on TV on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy's daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and Boston detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor

"Exceedingly funny. A genuinely human comedy about six people in search of love in a mixed-up world. A thoroughly engaging piece of theatre." - The Philadelphia Inquirer

Other reviews have described it as " A knock-out-  -- a surprising, clever comedy that keeps you laughing and even thinking all the way."
