The Wilton Playshop is thrilled to announce the opening of DEATHTRAP, the iconic psychological thriller by acclaimed playwright Ira Levin, which will take the stage beginning February 7, 2025. DEATHTRAP promises an evening of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists, in true Levin style.
The play follows the story of Sidney Bruhl, a successful but struggling playwright, who, in a desperate attempt to revive his career, conspires with a young writer, Clifford Anderson, to steal a sensational new play. But as the lines between reality and fiction begin to blur, the audience is left guessing who is deceiving whom in this masterful game of cat-and-mouse.
Set against the backdrop of Westport, Connecticut, DEATHTRAP also weaves in references to nearby towns such as Wilton, Ridgefield, and Milford, giving it a unique Connecticut flair that local audiences will appreciate.
The production stars an exceptional cast of talented actors, including Al Recchia of Milford as Sidney Bruhl, Sonya Kolba of Norwalk as Myra Bruhl, Rob Rosado of New Haven as Clifford Anderson, Amy Wade of Norwalk as Helga Ten Drop and Christian Miller of Stamford as Porter Milgrim. Under the direction of Gordon Casagrande of Ridgefield, the entire cast delivers clever dialogue with an intensity that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The show is being produced by Michele Bennett of Wilton and stage managed by Jazzy Cores of Redding.
