Thriller ~Deathtrap' scheduled for May 22 Rehearsals are underway for Palomar / MiraCosta College Theatre Association's production of "Deathtrap," which begins May 22 in the Palomar College Theatre.

According to director Buddy Ashbrook, the comedy/ thriller, written by Ira Levin, is two-thirds mystery and one-third devilish comedy. The play's ingenious construction leads the audience to feel they have solved the mysteries, but keeps them off-balance with it's sudden changes. "It is a rare and skillful blending of gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter," he said.
"This is by far the best comedy/ thriller I have directed. On top of having a super play, I have a super cast. I can't wait to open," Ashbrook added. Cast members are: Sidney (the playwright)--John Douglas; Myra (Sidney's wife )--Sheila McLean; Clifford (student accomplice to Sidney)-David Robinson; Porter (the lawyer)-Taylor Patterson; and Helga (the psychic )--Jeannine Gilligan.
