New production photos have been released from Ira Levin\u2019s (Rosemary\u2019s Baby) legendary comedy-suspense thriller Deathtrap, opening Friday, October 10, at Empire Stage.<\/p>\n
The production marks the debut of Upstage Productions, a new theatre company founded by actress, auctioneer, and businesswoman Janice Hamilton. Performances will run through November 2, 2025.<\/p>\n
Directed by Deborah (DK) Kondelik, Deathtrap is a deliciously twisted play that balances razor-sharp humor with gasp-inducing suspense. The story follows Sidney Bruhl, a once-successful playwright whose recent thrillers have flopped. Desperate for another hit, he discovers a brilliant new script from an unknown writer\u2014and begins plotting a scheme that may be too clever (and too deadly) for his own good.<\/p>\n
With its ingenious construction and irresistible blend of laughter and shock, Deathtrap has earned a reputation as one of the most entertaining thrillers ever written. Levin\u2019s play has captivated audiences since its Broadway premiere, celebrated for its perfect mix of wit, mystery, and macabre fun.<\/p>\n
The production stars Larry Buzzeo, Om Jae, Michele Verdi, Betsy Bittar, and Matthew Pyle.<\/p>\n
Tickets are $40 and on sale now. Deathtrap runs October 10 \u2013 November 2, 2025, at Empire Stage, 1140 N Flagler Drive, Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n
