This fall, the Cedar Springs Community Players present “The Maltese Falcon”, a thriller in two acts by David Jacklin, based on the serialization of the story by Dashiell Hammett. Runtime is approximately 100 minutes plus intermission.
Sam Spade is a world-weary private dick, running a not-very successful operation with his partner Miles Archer. Enter Miss Wonderly — if that is her real name — who offers cash for them to tail a man who has abducted her young sister.
Then Archer ends up dead.
Fast-moving scenes introduce the characters of Casper Gutman (The Fat Man); Joel Cairo; Wilmer (the gunman); Iva (Archer’s amorous widow); and, of course, Effie, Spade’s efficient and sexy secretary. Not to mention, Brigid O’Shaughnessy — if that is her real name — who twists men around her finger to deadly effect.
AND ALL IN PURSUIT OF THE BLACK BIRD.
Performances will be at the local Kent Theatre in Cedar Springs.
