Preview of 'Murder at the Prop Table' at Phoenix Stage Company

MURDER AT THE PROP TABLE plays at PHOENIX STAGE COMPANY
Oakville, Connecticut. March 5th thru 19th

PHOENIX STAGE COMPANY is presenting Murder at the Prop Table in March. As the saying goes, "All the world's a stage," and it couldn't be truer of a group of actors living life as though it were part of a play … oh wait, it is … is that in the script? Did he just do that?! Stars of the stage and screen, Alex and Lynn are unhappily married; Alex loves Jane, but Jane is Herbert's girlfriend; and Herbert wrote the play that Alex and Lynn are starring in with hopes of making a triumphant comeback to the stage. Add in a confused gardener and a stage manager trying to keep things in order, and you have a recipe for disaster with a dash of love, a sprinkle of loathing, a splash of suspicion and one dead body. And the critics are in the audience.

The play as written by Ed Bassett and performed at the SHORT & NEAT Festival in New Haven. Murder at the Prop Table won the CT Playwrights Project and then was workshopped by Phoenix Stage Company in 2012. Published in 2015, it has been performed across the country, in New Zealand, Turkey and the UK.

Directed by Ed Bassett with Stage Manager Lori Poulin, the cast includes Jonathan Ross, Timothy Cleary, Laura Sturges-Cortez, Tim Phillips, Tony Benedetti and making her Phoenix debut; Liz Jaffin.
