About Deathtrap

"Deathtrap" is a play about a play called "Deathtrap."

When a student sends him an excellent script for a new comic thriller called "Deathtrap", Sidney and his nervy wife Myra joke about killing the young upstart and claiming the play, and the money it’s sure to make, for themselves.

Simon Russel Beale

Matthew Warchus directs a unique cast which includes Simon Russell Beale (lead in the sell-out National Theatre production of London Assurance) and Jonathan Groff (star of the hit US TV series Glee and lead in the Tony Award winning Broadway production of Spring Awakening). Time Out Best Actress Award-winner Claire Skinner will also star alongside celebrated New York stage actor Terry Beaver and Academy Award-winning actress Estelle Parsons.



The West End production of Deathtrap, which stars Simon Russell Beale, Jonathan Groff and Estelle Parsons, has its eyes on Broadway if it receives positive reviews in London. The show is said to have an advance of more than $1 million dollars. Deathtrap will preview from Aug. 21 and open Sept. 7 at the Noël Coward Theatre.
