"Agatha Christie's 1954 play Spider's Web has both the advantage and disadvantage of not being as familiar as her other, more successful plays The Mousetrap, Ten Little Indians and Witness for the Prosecution. Therefore, most audiences will be unfamiliar with the plot and not know the person "whodunit" beforehand. The play is less often produced, most likely due to it being a slightly overwritten (and long) comedy thriller, and not a nerve-wracking murder mystery like other Christie plays, which can have you on the edge of your seat. You will most likely not be on the edge of your seat from the unevenly cast and somewhat sluggish production at Scottsdale Desert Stages."
