Deathtrap

Deathtrap
by Ira Levin

Directed by Roxanne Fournier-Stone

September 15 – October 7, 2017
Matinees: September 17, 24, and October 1 at 2pm

“Silver Spring Stage has done well with their production of Deathtrap.” – Theatre Bloom
“A fine beginning to Silver Spring Stage’s 50th Season.” – DC Metro Theater Arts

This ingeniously constructed play offers a rare and skillful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients: gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. Dealing with the devious machinations of a writer of thrillers whose recent offerings have been flops, and who is prepared to go to any lengths to improve his fortunes, Deathtrap provides twists and turns and sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be held spellbound until the very last moment.
