Cloak and Dagger at Signature Theatre

Cloak and Dagger

Signature Theatre
4200 Campbell Avenue Arlington

With its requisite down-on-his-luck detective and femme fatale caught up in a zany whodunit, Ed Dixon's screwball musical comedy Cloak & Dagger delightfully sends up classic film noir. Helen Hayes Award-winning actor, writer and composer Dixon (Signature Theatre's Sunset Boulevard) brings his sharp wit to bear in this mile-a-minute race through every neighborhood in New York. With four actors playing nearly 20 roles, Cloak & Dagger is a hilarious and loving spoof of the genre perfected by writers like Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.

"...With the world premiere of Cloak and Dagger: Or the Case of the Golden Venus — Ed Dixon’s outrageous trunk show — Signature Theatre once again is killin’ it. Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer has justifiably earned his reputation of always thinking outside the black box — the man with the Midas touch. Even when his touch seems deceptively light-handed, Schaeffer remains master of this house. Still, Dixon’s presence permeates the place."

"...Up for something with amusement, silliness, and banter propelled by a lively score and excellent voices? Then head off to Cloak and Dagger at Signature Theatre. It is a screwball musical to ice you down during this summer heat wave. Marvel at what tongue-in-cheek delivery whether straight dialogue or song can prove; a good time."

"...All in all Cloak & Dagger is the perfect way to spend a summer’s evening in the theatre. Between Dixon’s spot on book and score, a talented bunch of performers, musicians and designers with Eric Schaeffer at the helm, Cloak & Dagger is highly recommended."

What is Cloak and Dagger? It’s actually got a nice spine to it – starting in the run-down office of Private Eye Nick Cutter (Doug Carpenter), a whirlwind adventure through New York City begins with a simple visit from femme fatale Helena Troy (Erin Driscoll). Mobsters, strippers, and all sorts of unseemly folks (all played by either Dixon or Christopher Bloch) stand between Cutter and the missing Golden Venus.
