The Innocence of Father Brown: World Premiere of Priest Detective
Fremont Centre Theatre (South Pasadena, CA)
Though English and a detective, Father Brown is the very opposite of his more famous colleague, Sherlock Holmes. When sleuthing, this short, fat Catholic priest with a face “like a Norfolk dumpling” famously spurns Holmes’s deductive method in favor of his own (invariably superior) intuition. Now Little Candle Productions brings this simple-yet-brilliant priest to life with Patrick Rieger’s stage adaptation of The Innocence of Father Brown. This world premiere features the wit and considerable wisdom of Father Brown’s creator, the novelist G.K. Chesterton, the man whom George Bernard Shaw called a “colossal genius.” It also contains some of the most ingenious crimes yet concocted in print or on stage. Puzzling crimes, witty dialogue and profound revelations await you at The Innocence of Father Brown.
