DEATHTRAP Opens This Week at TheatreWorks New Milford

TheatreWorks New Milford will premiere Ira Levin's thriller, Deathtrap, directed by Robin Frome and featuring Dandy Barrett, Timothy Huber, Lynn Nissenbaum, Jeff Rossman,, and Jeffry Bukowski.

Deathtrap holds the record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway, and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play. Simply put, it's the story of an aging playwright who desperately needs a hit and concocts a plan to lure to his Connecticut home a young playwright who has written an astounding thriller, and kill him and pass of the play as his own. But be forewarned, there are twists and turns ahead. There are murders within murders, plots within plots, and an awful lot of whiskey and gin being consumed.

Opening night is on Friday May 6 and continues for four weekends until Saturday May 28. Show times are 8:00 pm with a matinee on Sunday May 22. Tickets are $25 for reserved seating. Students and Military personnel and Veterans with ID will be admitted for $20.00.
