Wish I’d been around to see this one – big Anthony Shaffer fan, and I’d just started to go to the theater in time to see shows like Corpse, Accomplice, and Solitary Confinement... all enjoyable, but I missed the heyday of the Broadway comedy-thriller - Sleuth, Deathtrap, Whodunnit, and of course, Moose Murders!

I saw Deathtrap on a school field trip. I remember my teacher saying it was the only time she'd ever been to a play that was actually scary. It was. It was like going to a slasher film. People were screaming in shock and freight at times.
It was interesting for me because I had seen a summer stock production with George Grizzard (odd that it was able to be done while it was still on Broadway.) Then we went on the field trip and saw Farely Granger but I knew where all the scares were coming.
I miss the stage thriller. I wish they'd come back.
