Deathtrap Reviews
The Tolucan Times- Highly Recommended
"...A tantalizing thriller from start to finish, mystery lovers will leave having been deliciously entertained. Don't miss it!"
NoHoArtsDistrict- Highly Recommended
"...This ensemble of wonderful actors really gives us the essence of what "DEATHTRAP" is all about, and along with the amazing Jules Aaron's direction (which never disappoints), we have a terrific play. With a first glance at the stage you will see an amazing set design by Chris Winfield, and you know instantly this is going to be a thoroughly enjoyable evening."
Night Tinted Glasses- Somewhat Recommended
"...More telling is that the entire cast, including Lloyd Pedersen as Sydney's lawyer and LizAnne Keigley as a local psychic who moved nearby, proceeded to perform in a businesslike way with intelligent line readings and good timing. But that was pretty much it. With the exception of Myra the characters rarely felt alive (although that background music certainly did them no favors) save for brief moments. I rarely got sucked into the story, never felt particularly tense or afraid, felt little or no investment in anyone on stage. This marks it as different at least to some extent from Another Antigone or The Chinese Wall, other Group Rep productions in which for some characters at the very least I felt for."
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...Director Jules Aaron gives the piece a slick, finely articulated production, aided by an able cast. Nello neatly captures Sidney's essential ruthlessness along with his cynical urbanity, while Yates's Myra is a fearful wife who doesn't want her husband to commit murder, though she's strongly tempted by the wealth and fame it might lead to. And McNeill's Clifford is appropriately brash and wily. Pedersen's Milgrim is a seemingly benevolent soul, with a hidden vein of determined ambition. And Keigley's Helga combines a touch of looniness with a taste for self-promotion."
