Seattle, WA – Twelfth Night Productions, a West Seattle nonprofit theater group, has selected Ira Levin’s classic Broadway comedy-thriller, , as their spring offering in celebration of its 30 anniversary. First staged with a cast that included John Wood and Victor Garber, was nominated for a 1978 Tony Award for Best Play and holds the record for longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway. A popular 1982 film adaptation starred Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve and Dyan Cannon.“As most artistic types are slaves to the Muse,” says director Todd Downing, “I see Deathtrap as an extreme case of writer’s block gone horribly, delightfully wrong.” The play is famous for its characters and twists, with the action onstage often mirroring the premise of the play at the center of the plot. “It’s a really tight piece of writing, with fascinating characters,” Downing continues, “and it asks the question, how far would you go for success?”
