Deathtrap

One of the longest running Broadway thrillers of all time comes to Kansas City audiences in September with Ira Levin’s seminal comedy-thriller, Deathtrap. A play that is “two-thirds a thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy” (Cue Magazine), will see a washed-up writer of Broadway thrillers struggling to find his next great idea. But when a student of his brings a thrilling new script to his doorstep, he sees a chance to make it big once more, and it might just be a chance he’ll kill for… Deathtrap is filled with twists and hilarity in equal measure, leaving audiences glued to the stage until its final moments.

Estimated runtime for Deathtrap is 2 hours and 15 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.

Content Warning: Deathtrap contains gunshots, stage violence, and blood. Deathtrap contains strong language and mention of suicide. Deathtrap contains a brief moment of flashing lights which may not be suitable for those with photosensitivity.
