"Deadly Murder" Opens Square One's New Season
Square One Theatre, Stratford, opens it s 23rd season with "Deadly Murder," by David Foley. It's an intricate thriller that tells the story of Camille Dargus, a beautiful, successful woman with a penchant for young men.

The play opens Nov 2 and runs through Nov. 16 on weekends.
"Deadly Murder" is followed by "Distracted," a comedy by Lisa Loomer, which looks at a modern family and asks the question: "Are we so tuned into ourselves and our sound-bite world that we've lost touch with what really matters?" The play runs March 1 through March 16.
Square One's final offering is tentatively scheduled to be "4000 Miles," by Amy Herzog, which deals with how two outsiders might find their way in today's world. After a major loss while on a cross-country bike trip, 21-year-old Leo seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandmother. The play will run May 17 - June 1.
