Hammett Time

When a book collector is murdered in a public library, a private detective is hired to find the killer. He meets a host of unsavory characters hunting for a valuable autographed edition of Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon” that was donated to the Friends of the Library book sale. Originally commissioned by the Johnson County Public Library for the 2008 National Endowment for the Arts’ Big Read, Fringe veterans Bryan Colley and Tara Varney brings this hilarious film noir parody to the Unicorn stage.
