The Story: Camille Dargus (Adrienne Flagg) has fought her way up from humble beginnings to a glittering Manhattan lifestyle. She has beauty, brains, wealth and a successful career as a jewelry designer for the leading lights of New York society. She also has a penchant for young men. One night, at a boring society function, she picks up one of the waiters, Billy (Ty Boice), and brings him home. But there's more to Billy than meets her eye - and when he refuses to leave, she summons her security guard Ted (Leif Norby), to get him out of her Soho loft. And so begins a game of cat-and-mouse involving a mysterious jewel, reversals, crosses and double-crosses, murder, and a devastating trip into the past that Camille is determined to leave behind.

Deadly Murder, written by David Foley, is directed by Alan Shearman. The production team includes Domeka Parker, stage manager; Whitney Johnson, assistant stage manager; Jeff Seats, set design; Margaret Louise Chapman, costume design; Mark LaPierre, light design; Dan Hallberg, sound design; Kurt Herman, technical director and Kay Vega, producer.
