Deathtrap was one of the biggest hits in the history of Broadway. The highly
successful film version, directed by Sidney Lumet, starred Michael Caine and
Christopher Reeve.
Unknown dramatist Clifford Anderson (Mark Harvey) has sent his new thriller to
award-winning Broadway author Sidney Bruhl
(David Reid-Kay)
for comment. Without a success to his credit for some years, Sidney plots with his
reluctant wife Myra
(Hannah Gold)
about how best to plagiarize ‘Deathtrap’ and when Clifford turns up to discuss the play
with the ‘Master’ events take a sinister turn.
Each time we’re certain we know which way the plot is going, Levin pulls the rug right
out from under us. We become enmeshed in a series of delightful double-entendres. Helga ten Dorp
(Tangee Lenton), a psychic, famous for pointing out
murderers to the European police, and Porter Milgrim
(Ian Barrie)

,
Sidney’s lawyer, offer clues, as to which way the plot is going – or do they? The plot
here is like quicksilver – each time you think you have it, it slips through your fingers –
but the guessing is going to be lots of fun.
Deathtrap is an ingeniously constructed play, two-thirds thriller and one third clever
comedy. Gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter, with twists and shocks until
the last minute
