Camille Playhouse Presents:  Spider’s Web

“Spider’s Web by Agatha Christie, opened in 1954 on the West End over in England,” Binder said. “What is happening is that the wife of a diplomat, her name is Clarissa, she is having this normal evening with her friends, when all of a sudden there is a dead body found in one of her rooms. So there is a lot of deception, story telling all while mixing in some funny, comedic moments both physical comedy and just some very kooky characters, ”  Binder said.

“…That was the first time I saw the word parody and I thought, ‘I hadn’t even thought about that’.  You have your tense dramatic moments but you also have those light hearted comedic moments to break that tension, so it’s kind of up and down and all over the place.  It’s alot of fun.,” Goldschmidt said.

“I wanted to have something that was very classic, to open that audience of people who know the name Agatha Christie, but also something that is very connectable, because it is that dark comedy aspect and I know a lot of our current generation likes to laugh.   I felt like that was also a really good fit,” Binder said.

“The more and more we get into our rehearsal process, it’s a lot more finding out for ourselves as well, even though  we read through the whole script. Once we’re putting it onstage and acting it out, we find out so many little things we weren’t able to catch before. So like watching it you have to really pay attention to detail.  Think of like an organized kinda chaos.  It’s complex but in an organized, very well written kinda way.”
