Pop Goes the Weasel is an intriguing World War II period mystery sure to keep audiences guessing until the very end.
Winnie Wynn opens her heart and home to two children whose father is fighting overseas, as well as to her own two grandchildren, whose parents are also abroad, doing their part. But what looks to be a peaceful New England summer for the blended family takes a dark turn when a body is discovered behind Winnie’s house. Mistrust abounds when the sheriff makes it known that the motive might have to do with a rumored saboteur targeting the local power station. And while Sheriff Lovell tries to determine the connection between the killer, the saboteur, and a spy known as “the Weasel,” everyone else begins to suspect that the enemy is someone uncomfortably close to home.
Offering a wide array of compelling characters backed by strong storytelling from veteran playwright Craig Sodaro, Pop Goes the Weasel is a classic, high-stakes whodunit that perfectly captures both the fears and the unbridled patriotism of the era.
