Death Trap was the extra show I have chosen to write about and probably my favorite show I saw while in London. It was show full of suspense and comedy that constantly kept me on the edge of my seat. Every aspect of the show seemed flawless and well put together. I am now going to take the next few paragraphs to tell you just how much I loved Deathtrap.
First thing I loved about Deathtrap was the story. I love the story within a story, a plot within a plot. Just when I thought I had figured it out, there was a new twist. The characters were just so sleazy in the best of ways.
The next aspect I loved was the set. The set remained the same for entire show, only small pieces of furniture were moved or removed. It was the interior of the writer's home and it was a beautiful lodge full all kinds of weapons, old movie props and ornate decorations and had to be a set designer's dream. It was realistic yet fantastical and had such a campy feel without being too cheesy. It was the perfect atmosphere for the story to take place.
Next on my list to praise is probably the most important, the actors. They were just so smooth. I never once felt that they were over acting. They were so utterly believable it was the truly amazing. They completely got me, I was completely en-rapt. I think it was because they convinced me so fully that I had such a good time. I wasn't thinking about how the theatre was functioning because I was too busy watching what was playing out in front of me. They were just so quick-tounged and the pace of the dialogue was just fantastic. It was a constant back and forth without becoming repetitive. I really just loved Deathtrap, going in with no expectations and just being delightfully surprised was a great experience. Not to be repetitive, but this was my favorite show!
