Twists\, turns\, and razor-edged humor make Deathtrap a masterclass in suspense. \nRoles: \nSIDNEY BRUHL – (40s–60s) A once-successful playwright now struggling with creative failure. Sharp\, witty\, and dangerously ambitious. \nCLEO ANDERSON – (20s–30s) A talented and passionate young writer. Intelligent\, charming\, and ambitious — with hidden layers. (formerly “Clifford”) \nMYRA BRUHL – (40s–60s) Sidney’s supportive and anxious wife.

In a whirl of constant activity\, their lives are brim-full of joy and horror\, anxiety and delight. \nDennis Potter’s affectionate study captures the traumas of childhood beneath the apparently innocent surface. He reminds us that adults are children who have simply substituted subtlety for spontaneity. \nThat rose-tinted nostalgia for the ‘blue remembered hills’ of our youth is not always justified. \n  \nLemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons by Sam Steiner \nDirected by Gil Burns \nThe average person will speak 123\,205\,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? This play imagines a world where we’re forced to say less. \nSam Steiner tells the story of Bernadette and Oliver\, a young couple trying to come to grips with a society that has an imposed limit in which each person is only allowed to use up to 140 words in a single day. It explores this imposition from their two perspectives as they negotiate life\, love and conflict with ever less options on how to communicate their feelings. \nThe non-linear narrative flits from past to present\, exploring how the couple navigate through turbulent waters as Steiner strips the text and the characters to their emotional core. \nTICKETS AVAILABLE \nPoster Design – Hannah Stow URL:https://hblt.co.uk/diary/double-bill-of-one-act-plays LOCATION:Hebden Bridge Little Theatre\, Holme Street\, Hebden Bridge\, HX7 8EE CATEGORIES:Internal ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hblt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/2024bluelemonfinack-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250807 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250810 DTSTAMP:20260403T134630 CREATED:20250605T163622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250605T163948Z UID:23792-1754524800-1754783999@hblt.co.uk SUMMARY:Playwrite!

His mother’s determination to understand the atrocity brings her face to face with his killer and forces the family to confront the bitter senselessness of their loss\, and the conflict their different approach to grieving causes. \nCasting will take place at the Little Theatre on Sunday 4th February 2024 at 7pm\, where we will read through the play\, followed by a short audition process. \nCharacter with ages (as given in script) are below. Please note age is flexible in casting\, which will be more focused on believable relationships between roles. \nMary-52- Danny and Joe’s Mother\, struggling with the day to day absence of her son. Can’t understand why he was killed. Wants to meet Emma to see if it brings some understanding/sense of peace. \nJohn-age not stated- Danny and Joe’s Father\, initially coped with Danny’s death by running\, but a knee injury leads him to shut himself off and hit the bottle. Cannot forgive Emma\, and harbours deep anger and resentment\, doesn’t understand why his wife wants to meet her. \nJoe-20 Danny’s brother- struggling with survivor guilt as was with Danny when he was killed. Feels that his parents\, particularly his dad\, blame him for Danny’s death. Resents his parents inability to see past Danny’s death and support their surviving son. \nEmma-18-Danny’s killer- Addicted to drugs and alcohol at a young age\, a highly volatile\, unpredictable vulnerable young lady\, hiding her vulnerability within an aggressive\, “bolshy” exterior. Lies as a defence mechanism. Described as a “constantly hyped powder keg of energy”\, but also has a highly wicked sense of humour and so ability to pull the comedy from the text is a must. \nElizabeth-30s- Emma’s social worker and family liason. Supports the Pritchard family through the process of meeting Emma and is party to many uncomfortable conversations. Is determined not to let Emma get under her skin and push her away. There is a large degree of interpretation available as to how this role is played\, but it is important she is played with deliberate emotional choices. \nHope to see many of you there!\nIf you are interested in attending/want further information please contact Rachel on wotastar1@hotmail.com or via fb messenger.
