There is nothing like being out of action - I was thanks to an accident - to catch up on one's reading. Emil and the Detectives as a play works amazingly well. Miller's adaptation retains the spirit of the original and makes it better. Read it because you like the classic.

Very interesting script with plot twists. Although it is a script, you could still really connect with the characters and follow the story.
