Deathtrap by Ira LevinDirected by Christine Estabrook
June 7-9, 14-16, 21-23
Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm
Sundays at 2:30pm
Sidney Bruhl, a washed-up playwright, receives a script written by a former student Clifford Anderson, which would be a perfect play to revive Sidney’s reputation on Broadway. The plan to get possession of that script, change its author’s name and present it as his own is only the beginning. To say any more would give away the maniacal “twists and turns” that accompany this rollercoaster of a dark comedy-thriller by Ira Levin.
Total running time is about 2.5 hours, including one 15-minute intermission.
NOTE: There will be a special talk back with Christine Estabrook every Sunday afternoon, following the performance!
