Death Knell
by James Cawood
April 14 - May 13, 2023
Set in an isolated former hunting lodge in the Scottish Highlands, Death Knell follows Henry Roth, a famous playwright and his wife Evelyn, as they await the arrival of his new muse – a charming and charismatic young actor called Jack Willoughby who is determined to secure a role in the playwright's latest production. What starts out as a seemingly innocent audition soon leads to an evening full of twists, turns and eventually... murder. Mixing black comedy and shocks of the highest order, Death Knell reinvents the classic thriller genre and will leave audiences breathless and beguiled right up to the final curtain.
This play was directed by Laura Schlecht & Janye Anderson and featured Thomas Baird, Polona Pearson, Spencer Moseley, Adam Perkins & Julie Burks with Darius Hollis backstage and Kristen Sheils in the tech booth.
