Deathcrap

Hmmm... what am I feeling like this morning? 

Well... last night I went to the theatre to watch Deathtrap by Ira Levin at the Noel Coward Theatre, London. This is the longest running comedy thriller on Broadway. There is a pithy piece of wit on the brochure:

A PLAY TO DIE FOR

And, hell, it is. The frights, bangs and unexpected twists are lively and entertaining. This is very much a play where you do not have to think. It is one shenanigan after the next. Much humour results from the play on a 'play within a play' - evoked humourously and leaving a memorable ending of more madness. 

It has the ability to petrify... like Ghost Stories at the Duke of York's BUT you also get comedy, comedy and comedy.

Watch it. Far better than the Inbetweeners. No?
