Happy Trailers To Deathtrap's London Revival

Happy Trailers To Deathtrap's London Revival

Why don't more theatrical productions on both sides of the pond follow the lead of the Matthew Warchus-helmed upcoming London revival of Ira Levin's Deathtrap?

I love the fact that they've produced a pretty slick little trailer (above), along with two more to tout the comedic thriller starring the estimable Simon Russell Beale opposite Jonathan Groff in his West End debut. The cast also includes the redoubtable Estelle Parsons, along with Claire Skinner and Terry Beaver.

This first London revival of Deathtrap begins performances at the Noël Coward Theatre on August 21, with its first night (opening night) slated for September 7. With so much talent assembled for this production, along with tickets on sale through January 22, 2011, I'm mighty tempted to make the journey back to U.K. later this fall just to see this show.
