*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: If you love the teeny-bopper music of the 1950s and 60s, and don’t care about a story line (believe me this is not DEAR EVAN HANSEN or SPRING AWAKENING), then wander out to Porthouse, sit in the beautiful tent theatre in the lush lawn and trees, and see **THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES. Me? I’m looking forward to THE PROM, the theatre’s next production. * *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * *www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

A diabolical solution presents itself in the form of one of his graduate students whose script promises to deliver. *DEATHTRAP* provides an abundance of twists and turns and offers hilariously sudden shocks for audiences who will be spellbound until the very last moment. This not-to-be-missed play is the granddaddy of well-written thrillers. CHARACTERS: Sidney Bruhl: 50ish, polished, dashing, devious, clever ... thinks he's the smartest man in the room and wants people to know it; is "on stage" even when at home. Clifford Anderson: 18-30s, a student; very attractive, boyish and handsome at the same time; physically fit. He is clever; know's HE's the smartest man in the room and can bide his tine to display it. Covers this with innocence, affection and naïveté. Myra Bruhl: 40-60, sophisticated, upper-class, but embraces the country life; innocent, sweet, caring, emotional, nervous, even skittish, supportive of Sydney's career and moods, but grows some backbone when he crosses the line. Helga ten Dorp: Psychic. Any age. Wild, individual Gypsy-like; in and out of her world and this world; knows she's a celebrity and buys into the show of her gift; has a Dutch/German accent; is disarming and brave when faced with pain and violence. Porter Pilgrim: Professional, solid, observant. *WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME PLAY WITH US! SO AUDITION!!!* -- Workshop Players Theatre 44820 Middle Ridge Road P.O.
