Online Play Reading: Deathtrap
Tuesday September. 27th at 7:30pm (7:15pm sign in)
Bangkok Community Theatre is continuing their evening online play reading sessions in 2022. Since BCT is also working to get back to live productions, we will try to hold two online play readings each month rather than 4 as we did in the past. Each time we choose a new script and share it with the participants in advance. Then we get together and read the play aloud on zoom, regularly switching up the roles so that everyone gets a chance to read, if they wish. Some BCT friends don’t want to read; they just like to listen. That’s okay, too.
ABOUT THE PLAY
Deathtrap is a play written by Ira Levin in 1978 with many plot twists and which references itself as a play within a play. It is in two acts with one set and five characters. It holds the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway, and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play. Well received by many and frequently revived, it was adapted into a film starring Michael Caine, Dyan Cannon and Christopher Reeve in 1982.
Please confirm ASAP whether you will join (and if you want to read or not) so that we can send you both the link to the room and the link to download the script. Knowing attendance numbers makes it much easier to divide the parts so please RSVP soon. Remember to log in by 7:15 at the latest so that we can assign parts and start reading at 7:30pm at the latest. If possible, please also keep your camera on and stay for the entire reading to show your support for the work and all the readers.
Note: BCT Online Play Readings are for Adults and Students age 16+ unless otherwise specified. If you are not already a BCT member, please consider joining to help support the society. Email: membership@
