The Rat Trap, directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward, is a centenary reimagining of Noël Coward's first play. Set in 1920s Belgravia, it explores the unraveling marriage of two ambitious writers, Keld Maxwell and Sheila Brandreth, played by Ewan Miller and Lily Nichol, respectively. The production, which features Angela Sims as Burrage, delves into themes of jealousy and betrayal, infused with Coward's signature wit. Previews begin on January 28, 2026, with the official opening on February 2, running until March 14.
