Uncertain Curtain Theatre proudly presents MAX PRY, PRIVATE EYE! 

MAX PRY, PRIVATE EYE is a one-act play written and directed by SJ Fawcett. Set in 1940s Chicago, the story follows Max Pry, a city detective who dreams of becoming a hard-boiled Private Eye, like his heroes Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe. There’s only one problem: Max is a terrible detective! His greatest bust - discovering Frankie “The Cruncher” Pavlov’s hideout in a downtown laundromat - was purely by accident (even detectives need to clean their clothes every now and then). So when Max’s boss gives him an ultimatum that could see him demoted to janitor, Max teams up with some (equally terrible) gangsters to stage the bust of a lifetime!

Part film noir, part screwball comedy - MAX PRY, PRIVATE EYE is ridiculous fun for the whole family!

"It's like a perfect toasted sandwich - very cheesy with lots of ham!"

We are asking children up to 12 years to share their stories and/or artwork about the city they live, learn and play. We want to hear about the best things about their neighbourhood, and what they would change?
