Cast and Creative Team Announced for ACCOMPLICE

The Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum is pleased to announce the cast of their upcoming production of Accomplice. The play will be directed by Bickford Theatre Producing Artistic Director Eric Hafen. Accomplice will be performed from January 25 - February 4, 2018. It is written by Rupert Holmes and is a winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award.

The story begins in Dartmoor, England at the stylish weekend retreat of the affluent Derek and Janet Taylor, and both adultery and murder are in the air. But we will soon learn that all is never as it seems in this electrifying game of trickery and misdirection. Who is the hunter and who is the hunted...and precisely who is the title character of Accomplice? Adult situations and content.

"Accomplice is part thriller, part comedy, part guessing game...my favorite part about Rupert's play is the unexpected. Great fun." - Eric Hafen.

Tait Ruppert of Convent Station, NJ - Broadway: Candida (Circle in the Square); NJ Regional: Alliance Repertory Company; Other Regional: Cherry Lane Theatre, Long Wharf Theatre, Shakespeare & Co.; Film/TV: Getting On, Arli$$ (HBO), Fat Actress (Showtime), The Suite Life (Disney)
