The British appetite for thrillers is seemingly unquenchable. Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap has now been running for 65 years in London and detective and murder mystery stories are standard Sunday night television fare. Adam Penfold's revival of Ira Levin's 1978 Broadway hit Deathtrap is obviously intended to take advantage to that public craving for a thriller. Unfortunately, after a promising start, this production fails to either shock or thrill.
Full casting for the UK tour of Ira Levin's Tony-nominated classic thriller Deathtrap includes Sam Phillips(Clifford), Beverly Klein (Helga ten Dorp) and Julien Ball (Porter). They join the previously announced TV starsPaul Bradley (Holby City and EastEnders) as Sidney Bruhl and BAFTA nominee Jessie Wallace (EastEnders andFings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be) as Myra Bruhl.
Deathtrap will embark on a 10-week national tour opening at Sheffield's Lyceum Theatre on Wednesday 6 September, with press night at the Theatre Royal Brighton on Thursday 14 September.
