Engrossing comic mystery,
This review is from: Deathtrap (Paperback)
Ira Levin is a master of the novel and the stage play. He has brought us ingenious classics like The Stepford Wives, Rosemary's Baby, A Kiss Before Dying, and Veronica's Room to name just a few. Most of his works have translated brilliantly to film and are fun, clever, engrossing reads.Deathtrap is a wonderful comic thriller, which I wish I had a chance to see play out on stage. It's a fun mystery that is as twisted as a pretzel with a fun and suspenseful climax. The first act ends with the big twist, one I did not see coming, leading the way for a completely different, but just as fun second act. Not many surprises in the second act, but it is just as fun. To talk about this any more is to give away all the delicious things in store, so I will let you see for yourself how wonderful this play truly is. Read Deathtrap, then do yourself a favor and buy everything Ira Levin has written. You might thank yourself in the morning.

i want to see this one performed!,

This review is from: Deathtrap (Paperback)
Deathtrap is so much fun to read, I would just love to see it done as a play. It would be so fun to be in it, too! There are rarely thrillers anymore, and this one manages to be twisty, funny, scary and even not seem dated. Ira Levin has crafted something clever and cool here, and I hope I can see it done well someday, so that I can be one of the people screaming in the theater, or one of the actors causing them.

An absolutely spellbinding play!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deathtrap (Paperback)
Having played the part of Clifford Anderson in a local production of Deathtrap, I was fortunate enough to hear the audience's reactions to the plot's twists and turns night in and night out. This show combines terror and humor in a way that really keeps people on the edge of their seat. I very highly recommend this work, and if you have a chance to see it performed live, do so, or if that's not possible, rent the movie. You won't be disappointed!
