Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Deathtrap
by Ira Levin
Directed by Rob Mess
Westport, Connecticut. Sidney Bruhl was once the king of Broadway thrillers—now he's a has-been with four consecutive flops and a dwindling bank account. Then a former student sends him a script so good, so perfectly constructed, that it's guaranteed to be a smash hit. Sidney's wife suggests collaboration. Sidney has another idea. What follows is a wicked game of cat and mouse—except it's never quite clear who's the cat. The twists keep twisting. The bodies may or may not stay dead. And everyone on stage might be writing the same play. The longest-running comedy-thriller in Broadway history, and every bit as devious as its reputation suggests.
Run Time – 2 hours & 15 minutes with one 15-minute intermission

How many ways can you murder someone? The prop team was kept busy finding the numerous weapons as well as other, sometimes very hard to find props for Deathtrap. All have been involved in numerous productions at Coal Creek Theatre. Most recently Peg won the award for Best Props for Of Mice and Men, and Jan Davison won the award for Best Stage Manager for Of Mice and Men. Both Jan and Peg also did the props for CCTL production of Epic Proportions and Sue, who can find just about anything, assisted with props for The Runner Stumbles and Over the River And Through the Woods at CCTL. The props team would like to thank all of the people that helped transport the props to the theatre, especially Greg Davidson and Roger Bolan. Along with the cast and crew of Deathtrap we hope you enjoy this murderous mystery!
