A witty and suspenseful comedy thriller in the grand tradition of Dial M for Murder and Columbo, Jeffrey Hatcher’s The Butler Did It invites audiences into a world of secrets, suspicion, and perfectly planned crimes.
Set in the spring of 1975, in San Francisco at the prestigious Portman School for Gentlemen’s Gentlemen — a finishing school for butlers who serve the fabulously wealthy — The Butler Did It transports audiences to a world where appearances can be deceiving, every detail matters, and everyone has something to hide. When a seemingly perfect crime sets events in motion, the question is not simply what happened, but whether the truth can remain hidden when the quietly brilliant Inspector Denise arrives on the scene.
The Butler Did It celebrates the golden age of mystery storytelling while bringing a brand-new theatrical mystery to the stage from one of America’s most acclaimed playwrights.
