Every year during the fall, Haverhill High’s play director, Mr. Gori, and students from the senior class put together the annual senior class play. This year Mr. Gori chose the play Deathtrap. Deathtrap is a murder mystery taken place during the years of 1970-1980 in Westport, Connecticut. This play was written by Ira Levin and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play of 1978.
Last week, we interviewed actresses from the play, Aubrie Campbell and Emily Bresnahan.
Why did Mr. Gori choose Deathtrap?
Aubrie: “HHS hasn’t done a murder mystery since my freshman year, so Mr. Gori wanted to do something new and exciting.”
Was anything changed from the original script?
Aubrie: “Yes, there is only one male actor in our cast, so we had to change a few characters and lines, and a few weapons are different.”
How long have you guys been practicing?
Aubrie: “We have been practicing for 11 weeks for about 2 hours a day, but this week, Monday and Tuesday, we practiced from after school to 8pm.”
What was one of your favorite memories from the play?
Emily: “When the entire cast got together to watch the movie Deathtrap.”
Aubrie: “Everyone has gotten really close after these long weeks of practicing.”
How long have you been acting?
Emily: “I have been acting since third grade in the annual play of A Christmas Carol.”
Aubrie: “I started acting my freshman year in A Christmas Carol.”
Do you plan on acting in the future?
Emily: “Yes, I plan on acting in college as an extracurricular activity.”
Aubrie: “Yes, I plan on acting in the spring production and would like to act in college.”
Who kisses who in the play?
Emily: “I can’t say, you’ll have to go to the play to see.”
