DEATHTRAP (thriller)
Previews from 21st August, opens 7th September 2010
What is a celebrated playwright to do when an ex-student produces a
great play at a time when the old master has writer's block and needs to
write a new work fast? The ex-student has to disappear of course...
permanently...
A starry cast including Simon Russell Beale, Jonathan "total b*stard for
dumping Rachel in 'Glee'" Groff and Claire Skinner are directed by
Matthew Warchus.
London based advertising agency Dewynters, have received praise from
The New York Times for their theatre first feature
trailer (or
below) for Deathtrap. The illustrious newspaper heaped praise upon the
trailer saying that it had “production values that rival anything to
come out of today’s Hollywood horror movie machine”.
Working closely with the play’s producer David Pugh, Dewynters have
released two versions of the trailer, that features West End legend
Simon Russell Beale and Glee star Jonathan Groff. The New York Times
went on to add “watching this trailer won’t give anything away, but it
will make you wonder why more Broadway plays can’t be this creative,
resourceful and contemporary when it comes to promoting their shows”.
