Jurors in murder trial try to balance trust and confusion in this psychological thriller
The Towle Theater presents their second production of their 21st season, “The Spider or the Fly?” by Sam Bobrick. The production is directed by Jeff Casey, assisted by Nora Wragg, stage managed by Max Mayhew-Martin, and features fight choreography by RJ Cecott.
In this unique psychological thriller, two stories unfold simultaneously in the same space but in different time frames. Maura and Scott meet while serving on jury duty for a murder trial and get romantically involved with each other. As their relationship develops, they discover they adamantly disagree on what the verdict should be. They also realize that each is not the person the other thought they were.
At the same time and in the same space that their story is being played out to its frightening climax, Jan and Tom, another young couple who have just met, weave through their unusual relationship that strangely enough has ties to the same murder case.
The Towle welcomes newcomers Mary Margaret McCormack (from Woodstock, IL) as Maura and Jimmy Rau (Munster, IN) as Tom. Returning to the Towle are Allie Charton (Chicago, IL) as Jan and Martin Downs (Chicago, IL) as Scott.
“The Spider or the Fly?” runs May 3rd-5th, 10th-11th, 17th-19th. Performances for May 3, 10, 11, 17, 18 are at 8pm and performances for May 4, 5, 19 are at 2pm.
