‘The Honey Trap’ extended
The Irish Repertory Theatre has announced a two-week extension for the New York premiere of “The Honey Trap” by Leo McGann and directed by Matt Torney. It will now run on the Rep’s Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage, at 132 West 22nd St., through Nov. 23. “The Honey Trap” is a “Critic’s Pick” with the New York Times, which called it “Taut, suspenseful storytelling, the kind that leaves an audience rapt,” and “and dabbles in deception until the very last line.” And Time Out New York in a four-star review said it is an “unnerving and meticulously crafted political thriller.” Go the Rep's website here for details.
