THUMBS A New Comedy-Thriller MAY 7 - JUNE 8, 2008 by Rupert Holmes “In THUMBS, playwright Rupert Holmes SETS THE STAGE FOR FUN, GAMES, AND CONSIDERABLE SELF-PARODY.” -The New York Times

A new comedy-thriller by Rupert Holmes makes its way to Actors' Playhouse. Set in an isolated cabin in Vermont, this is the story of two equally clever women from two very different walks of life who will need all their wit and will to survive a cat-and-mouse game with a devious killer, the likes of whom has not been seen before. About his new comedy-thriller, Rupert Holmes said, "In the tradition of stage thrillers, women have rarely had a large enough role to play, I wanted to create a mystery-comedy where women drive the story, and in THUMBS, the two main characters are intelligent, sharp, and often quite funny women. I hope that our audience will be kept guessing at every turn of our twisted tale right up to the final curtain."
