Deathtrap
Spotlight
Theatre: 4/5 – 5/3
Over
at The John Hand Theatre on Lowry there is a thriller that really
THRILLS!!!!!!!!
“Deathtrap,” is now on
view at The John Hand Theatre. In this thriller scenes of nerve-jangling
deliciousness are aided and abetted by the sly humor injected by the stylish
performance of Andy Anderson.
Mr. Anderson’s charming
portrayal as a once successful Broadway playwright, mines Ira Levin’s script
for any possible bon mots and polishes them until they sparkle like witty,
funny-bone eradicating gems.
Damon Guerrasio is
appropriately boyish and sometimes a bit ghoulish (Sorry! I didn’t mean to make it sound like boys and ghouls.) in his portrayal of the seminar student
turned “secretary” of the ‘failing’ artist.
Cindy Laudadio-Hill
portrays the playwright’s wife with such eyebrow raising warmth that even this
generally thankless role is memorable.
Wade Livingston enhances the production by adding his smooth brand of acting to a supporting character usually forgotten in the fray

Linda Suttle is ‘anything
but’ (Sorry!) as psychic Helga ten Dorp. Her outrageously funny performance as
the neighborhood psychic is a gut-buster!
Bernie Cardell’s
direction gets better with every show. This time the integrity of this piece is
carved out at a very high level. Cardell,
who also did the magnificent set design, has elicited performances that are of
a dynamic professional caliber and paced the proceedings diabolically as
regards the several moments which THRILL!!!!!!!
