Cast and trailer released for Deathtrap revival

The cast for a new production of Ira Levin’s thriller Deathtrap, directed by Tam Williams, has been announced, accompanying the release of its trailer.

Running at the Mill at Sonning from 8 February to 30 March, Deathtrap follows Sidney Bruhl, a once-successful playwright now struggling for a hit, who invites the younger and aspiring writer to meet him. However, as the night progresses, it becomes apparent that things are not as they seem.

The play holds the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway with almost 1800 performances and garnered four Tony Award nominations, including Best Play.

The cast includes Nick Waring as Sidney Bruhl, George Watkins as Clifford Anderson, Philip Childs as Porter Milgrim, Emily Raymond as Myra Bruhl, and Issy van Randwyck as Helga ten Dorp.

The creative team comprises director Tam Williams, set designer Michael Holt, costume designer Natalie Titchener, lighting designer Graham Weymouth, sound design by the technical team at The Mill at Sonning, fight director Jonathan Leverett, and casting by Kate Plantin CDG.
