A World Premiere of THE BIG SLEEP by Aaron Bushkowsky
Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep is the definitive hardboiled detective
story and Philip Marlowe the perfect expression of the cynical, world-weary
gumshoe. Hired by the crippled General Sternwood to shake off a blackmailer,
Marlowe also has to deal with the general's two rebellious daughters, the
gamblers and pornographers they run with and, soon enough, some inconvenient
murders. A follow up of Vertigo’s 2014 World Premiere of Farewell, My
Lovely.
