Deathtrap is a play by Ira Levin with many plot twists, even referencing itself as a play within a play. Written in 1978, it holds the record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway and was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. 

It takes place in the home of Sidney Bruhl, the washed-up playwright who once made fame and fortune with successful murder mysteries for the stage. Now, with a deadly case of writer's block, Sidney plans to murder and steal the script of up-and-comer, Clifford Anderson, whose first play promises to be a smash-hit However, nothing in this play is as it appears. Wives, lawyers and psychics attempt to thwart Sidney's scheme, but no one knows what he's really after or what he'll do to get it.

Deathtrap requires not only a deflty creative and talented cast, but an intricate set and long list of props including a wall of swords, axes and guns. Our cast includes highly skilled actors Bruce Coen, Lauren Whyte, Jack Sorenson, Hope Garrett Cook, and Wilton Zenon. Your contributions will go toward the construction of the set and the aquisition of props for the production. Any extra funds will be used in other areas of the production (publicity, merchandise, etc.)

 

The Lauren-Reilly Eliot Company, founded by Cooper Helm and Scott Gremillion, is deeply committed and inspired to deliver high-quality theater and film to Lafayette! We believe theatre should not only entertain, but transport audiences to another place, another time. We believe it can be an experience that changes lives and perspectives. Our previous productions include Buried Child and At Home at the Zoo.
