Thriller fans, get ready: the next production from MADC promises a murderously entertaining classic play with some gasp-out-loud moments.
Deathtrap by Ira Levin – the mastermind behind Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives – is Broadway’s longest-running thriller, captivating audiences with its rollercoaster of tension, dark comedy, suspense and razor-sharp dialogue. As well as being nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Play, Deathtrap has also been adapted into a film starring Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve.
Now a new production of this celebrated comedy-thriller is set to take to the stage at the MADC Playhouse this May, directed by Joe Depasquale and featuring a brilliant cast including Richard Godden, Adrian Farrugia, Angelica Sant, Giselle Borg Olivier and Eoin Kennedy. What’s more – there’s an early bird deal on tickets offers an incredible 20% off, for a limited time only!
Deathtrap follows the story of Sidney Bruhl (Godden), a once-successful playwright now desperate to regain his former glory with a hit show. When a young writer, Clifford Anderson (Farrugia), arrives with a manuscript that has all the makings of a guaranteed hit, Sidney hatches a plan – one that will lock them both in a deadly battle of wits and a chilling game of deception, betrayal and murder.
“Deathtrap remains a masterpiece of murderously funny theatre and the perfect choice for audiences who love suspense, clever writing and gasp-out-loud twists,” says Joe Depasquale. “This is a play that keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing until the very end – just when you think you have it figured out, it takes another turn. With the help of our talented cast, we can’t wait to bring this classic to life.”
MADC’s production of Ira Levin’s Deathtrap performs at the MADC Playhouse, Santa Venera, on 2, 3, 4 and 9, 10, 11 May, with all performances at 7.30pm. This production is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Booking is open at www.madc.com.mt, with an early bird offer available for a limited time only.
