ACCOMPLICE
in new revival at
Two River Theater Company
In 2001, at the esteemed Bay Street Theatre in New York, actor-director Daniel Gerroll (Chariots of Fire, Seinfeld) starred in and directed one of the most stylish productions of Rupert Holmes’ Edgar award-winning comedy thriller ACCOMPLICE. The production also received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. This June, the Two River Theatre Company, at their handsome new home in Redbank, New Jersey, will present Daniel Gerroll’s latest rendition of ACCOMPLICE, again with Mr. Gerroll in the lead and actors Kate Hodge, Phoebe Jonas and Ted Deasy. In an interview with a New Jersey magazine, Rupert said, “Even in advance of seeing the production, I can give my most enthusiastic recommendation to Danny’s take on the piece. He knows how to play the theatrical game of ‘Accomplice’ as well as anyone on this planet. And I love the witty and elegant performance he gives. He is murderously delightful.” He added that the “Two River Theatre Company is a wonderful new venue for the state.”
