Deathtrap brings thrills, chills to Coach House

 

"Coach House Theatre has mounted a superior production of "Deathtrap" that
has the power to frighten, thrill and chill the most jaded theater-goers..."

"Director Nancy Cates does a beautiful job with her cast. The action flows
and ebbs like the ocean, with some big waves and action jolting the cast and
the audience.  Cates has built an ensemble company. The cast shares the
stage, the laughs, the thrills and the chills..."

"One of the major stars of this production is the excellent set, which was
designed by John Estep and Terry Burgler. The set has stable walls (the room
was a stable that was converted into a study). Two large panels of the walls
are covered with swords, knives, guns and other instruments of torture,
murder and thriller plays. This is the most substantial set Coach House has
offered an audience..."

"Deathtrap is an excellent production. Everything seems to come together to
make this a memorable evening in the theater. The production plays through
Oct. 18. I suspect tickets will sell at a brisk pace. For ticket
information, call (330) 434-7741."

David Ritchey, West Side Leader

 

"Starring in the show are Equity actors Terry Burgler and Andrew Cruse, who
play off each other so well, the rivalry and distrust that grows between
their characters, Sidney Bruhl and Clifford Anderson, is both comical and
suspenseful... It's great fun watching the two lead characters repeatedly
turn the tables on each other."

Kerry Clawson, Akron Beacon Journal

 

Running through October 18

Dinner or Brunch available before all performances at the adjacent Akron
