Underneath the Lintel
"A cosmic puzzle that makes The Da Vinci Code seem like a game of hide-and-seek." - Variety
By Glen Berger, directed by Mary Vingoe
Starring Christian Murray
Presented with the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and The Cultch
The return of an overdue library book - 113 years late - piques the nascent detective skills of an uptight Dutch librarian who embarks on a quixotic, globe trotting pursuit of the anonymous borrower and returner.
The scribbled note "I was here" in the book's margin and a yellowed claim check from a London dry cleaner are the first two clues. His quest to unravel the mystery then leads him to a post office box in Dingtao, China; a government records bureau in Bonn; a sound and photo archive in New York; and an attic in Australia.
Christian Murray, superb in the role of the Librarian, leads the audience on a winding trail through history to a mystery that dates back to the Crucifixion and a figure who may be more man than myth.
