Deathtrap- Pioneer Theatre Company
Deathtrap is a play about Sidney, a playwright who is looking for a new good idea. He hasn't had a hit in years. A young playwright with a smashing new play asks Sidney to read his play. Sidney instantly falls in love. This is exactly what he is looking for. But credit for a play isn't something to murder over... or is it?
I don't want to give anymore in case you go see it.
Sydney (Thom Sesma) was brilliant. He was very manipulative and condescending. For some reason I really liked the sound of his voice. The chemistry he had with other characters were awesome as well. I also enjoyed the performance of Clifford (Devin Norik) the young playwright. Clifford is also very manipulative as Sydney, but even as the play progressed I could see Sydney planning something, unlike Clifford. I think Clifford's strongest moment was at the end of the play with the major twist. The poor wife of Sydney was put through so much! Myra (Gayton Scott) was a very good wife. She was paying for everything so her husband could spend all his time trying to come up with a new play. She was supporting him! She did very well. She had a very large range of emotions throughout the play and was very clear and precise about which emotion she was going to use. The chemistry between all the characters was great!
I think the set was fantastic! It was so detailed and everything was set in a certain place for a reason. I also really liked the actors. I thought they did a fantastic job! The one thing I didn't love was the script, especially near the end. It had too many twists, and I thought the ending was really weak. It was so climatic and the energy in the room was so high and then it crashed and died.
I really liked this show. I did not see a lot of the twists coming, I didn't even have a gut instinct telling me what was going to happen. I would recommend it to older audiences, it has very adult themes and it gets bloody. I really liked it though. I enjoyed getting scared and being surprised.
I would recommend seeing this show!

Welcome!
Welcome!
On this blog, I am going to write reviews for the live plays and musicals that I see. I usually see a minimum of two shows a month, but sometimes I see more. I enjoy seeing shows at Hale Centre Theatre (Orem and West Valley), Pioneer Theater, Utah Shakespeare Festival, Tuacahn, and the national tours.
Enjoy!
