Ira Levin’s DEATHTRAP was the longest running comedy-thriller in Broadway history, nominated for four TONY Awards, including Best Play. DEATHTRAP has been delighting audiences at home and abroad for decades and was lauded by the New York Times as “an absolute knockout of a suspense melodrama.” The play is set in 1979, and the creative team has fully embraced the scenic and other sensibilities of the era. For DEATHTRAP, the usual proscenium setting of the Drill Hall has been redesigned into a thrust stage, with the audience on three sides – and close to the action.
With plot twists aplenty, DEATHTRAP tells the story of a has-been playwright, Sidney Bruhl, who is desperate to regain his prestige, and his young protégé, Clifford Anderson, who unwittingly offers an intriguing solution. How desperate remains a secret, and to tell you any more would be a crime!
