Audition notice for Deathtrap - by Ira Levin
2025-11-09 18:30 - 20:30 UTC
Audition notice for Deathtrap by Ira Levin
Directed by David Howes
Sunday 9th of November at 6.30pm in the Little Theatre
Performance Dates: April 20th to the 25th 2026
About the Production:
Deathtrap is a sharp, darkly comedic thriller about ambition, manipulation, and the blurred lines between art and reality. In this fresh, all-female reimagining of Ira Levin’s classic, the gender-flipped casting amplifies the play’s tension and wit, exploring power and creativity through a new lens.
Sidney Bruhl, once a celebrated playwright of Broadway thrillers, is desperate to regain her former glory. When she receives an ingenious new play from her student Cleo Anderson, Sidney sees a path back to success — but it might require murder. Twists, turns, and razor-edged humor make Deathtrap a masterclass in suspense.
Roles:
SIDNEY BRUHL – (40s–60s) A once-successful playwright now struggling with creative failure. Sharp, witty, and dangerously ambitious.
CLEO ANDERSON – (20s–30s) A talented and passionate young writer. Intelligent, charming, and ambitious — with hidden layers. (formerly “Clifford”)
MYRA BRUHL – (40s–60s) Sidney’s supportive and anxious wife. Warm-hearted but deeply affected by Sidney’s cynicism.
PORTIA MILGRIM – (40s–70s) A perceptive lawyer and friend of Sidney (formerly “Porter”)
HELGA TEN DORP – (40s–70s) A famous psychic visiting from Europe; flamboyant, sincere, and unpredictable.

It's a Wonderful Life
2025-12-01 - 2025-12-06
It’s a Wonderful Life adapted by Mary Elliott Nelson
Dec 1st – 6th 2025
Directed by Alan Stockdill
This beloved film classic, now adapted for the stage, tells the inspiring story of George Bailey, who has spent his life giving to others at the expense of his own dreams. On a dark Christmas Eve, facing financial ruin and self-doubt, when all seems lost, he considers ending it all – until a guardian angel shows him what life would have been like for his family, friends and community if he had never existed.
George discovers the profound effects of his kindness, the difference his life has made to so many people.
This is a story of hope, redemption, and the enduring power of love. It reminds us all that each life touches so many others in ways we may never know. Perfect for all ages, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is a celebration of the human spirit and the difference one person can make.
