Portland Stage's current production of Michael Hollinger's 2000 noir comedy set in the Cold War era skillfully weaves a tapestry of three love stories and one murder against the backdrop of McCarthyism, nuclear bombs, 50s pop culture, and zany shenanigans - all of which makes for a delightful, fast-paced evening of nostalgic wit.

SBCT presents the spy spoof RED HERRING, opening tonight, April 25, and running through May 11, 2014. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

America's on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower's on the campaign trail, and 'I Love Lucy' is on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy's daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and Boston detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor - or else lose out on a honeymoon to Havana with her fiancé from the F.B.I. Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage plot converge in this terrifically funny and farcical 50's-noir comedy about marriage...and other explosive devices.

Great comic cast makes sure this frantic fish story doesn't flounder
