Mindgame (Modern Playwrights) (Oberon Modern Plays)

Product Information

I actually feel weird now writing a review because the whole book is about a nasty reviewer that gets shanked after writing a scathing review of Horowitz's real-life play, Mindgame. In 2011, Horowitz tweeted that he had plans to write a new trilogy for the same demographic as his Alex Rider and Power of Five books, but that it's still "a secret". [46] During 2012 and 2013, Horowitz tweeted out some more information regarding the series, where he stated that it will be "a completely new genre" from anything else he'd done so far, [47] and that it will have a contemporary setting in modern-day London with a 15-year-old protagonist. He also revealed that it's tentatively entitled The Machine. [48] However, Horowitz revealed in 2021 that he has yet to begin writing this series and that he has no immediate plans to do so.

Based on Horowitz’s novel of the same name, Mindgame premiered in Colchester in 1999, before transferring to the West End’s Vaudeville Theatre the following year starring Simon Ward, Christopher Blake and Helen Hobson. Separated by a Common Language: Anthony briefly considers Life Comes to a Full Stop as the title for a fourth Hawthorne novel, but then dismisses it, thinking that it "wouldn't make sense in America, where they have periods." Horowitz, Anthony (23 March 2013). "Loose Ends" (Interview). BBC Radio 4 . Retrieved 22 September 2023. How many authors willingly insert themselves into their stories? And not only do that, but get themselves accused of murder? In this story author Horowitz is planning to finish the series with Hawthorne having completed the three books he was contracted to write. Anthony Hawthorne is planning to move on to other projects, one being his new play, a thriller called ‘Mindgame’, which is about to open at the famous Vaudeville theatre in Shoreditch.The authorities can only hold Horowitz for 24 hours before charging him with murder, and they're waiting for the results of hair and DNA analysis to do just that. Then, almost miraculously, there's a computer glitch at the forensic science laboratory, and the cops have to let Anthony go until it's fixed. Following the early closure of New Faces juke box musical All or Nothing, Horowitz’s 1999 psychological thriller Mindgame is revived for three weeks at the Ambassadors Theatre. In 2017, Horowitz began a new series of detective novels which includes himself as a novelist enlisted by an out-of-work detective called Hawthorne to write books about the way Hawthorne solves crimes. The fictional Horowitz accompanies Hawthorne as he investigates murders committed in London and other locations. So far, starting with The Word is Murder, four of these books have appeared, with three others commissioned.

It also seemed unlikely that Anthony would get arrested, spend the night in jail after being interrogated, and then try to hide it all from his wife. Because while I didn't think this was quite as good as the last book, Hawthorne and Horowitz are firmly comfort-read characters for me at this point, and I can't see myself giving up this series.It is soon apparent that this was an excellent choice for the company’s annual, month-long rep season. The fact that a wider audience will be able to see it is a bonus. There's been a crime committed on two fronts. One is a play that hasn't quite cut the mustard since opening night in London's Vaudeville Theater. The second is the murder of a theater critic, Harriet Throsby, who slaughtered Tony's play, Mindgame, on that very opening night. All eyes were riveted on Tony whose gift of an ornamental dagger found itself embedded in ol' Harriet. Fingerprints and a stray hair from Tony made its entrance that evening as well.
