“The Business of Murder” at Players Circle Theater inspired by a true story
Players Circle Theater is mounting a production of the enduring psychological thriller “The Business of Murder,” April 15 – May 11. The play premiered in 1981 at Theatre Royal in Windsor and ran for nearly a decade in the West End.
Revenge and manipulation are central themes to this murder mystery fraught with psychological tension, twists and turns.
We explore the show in a conversation with Bill Taylor, who makes his Players Circle Theater directorial debut with this production. We’ll also hear from the company’s co-founder and Artistic Director Bob Cacioppo. And from the U.K., we’re also joined by playwright Richard Harris, who worked with Taylor to update this production of his more than four-decade-old play. Harris also shares how his impetus for the play was inspired by true events.
