‘Deathtrap’ takes place in the isolated New England home of thriller writer Sydney Bruhl. The action centers round a play called “Deathtrap” a new thriller by unknown dramatist Clifford Anderson a former pupil of Bruhl and which he has sent to him for comment. Without a success to his credit for some years, Sydney plots with his reluctant wife Myra, about how best to plagiarize “Deathtrap” and when Clifford turns up to discuss the play with the ‘master’ events take a sinister turn. But Sydney’s plans take an unexpected twist when Dutch clairvoyant Helga sen Dor begins to experience disquieting vibrations. “Deathtrap” is essentially a play within a play, full of twists and turns to say nothing of shocks. It holds the record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway and was later adapted into a film starring Christopher Reeve, Michael Caine and Dyan Cannon. Doors open half an hour before curtain up with Tea/Coffee and Bar. EFTPOS Facilities are availible.
