It’s 1952, and America is racing against the Russians for the secret of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower is racing against Adlai Stevenson for the White House, and I Love Lucy is racing up the television ratings on Monday nights. Meanwhile, detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the harbor — or lose out on a honeymoon in Havana. And could the engagement of Senator McCarthy’s daughter to a suspected Soviet spy have anything to do with all of this? And the bomb…what about the bomb?!? Hollinger’s Red Herring is a fun and farcical look at “Red Scare” America. It is a love story, a murder mystery, and an espionage plot all rolled into a comedy about marriage and other explosive devices. Location: Byrum Hall
