Death Trap, July 1982

Death Trap, the fiendishly ingenious thriller by Ira Levin (author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Boys from Brazil) which ran for 3 1/2 years in the West End, has now been playing to packed houses throughout Britain for almost a further year. At last, in the week beginning Monday 26 July, it is coming to Stevenage! Starring in John Newman’s production is one of Britain’s most popular film and television actors, our cover star this month, Michael Craig — surely the doyen of more leading roles on both large and small screens than almost anyone else today! Jill Dixon and Mark Jefferis are also featured in a production directed by Kim Grant. Advertising copy always runs the risks of using up all the superlatives too quickly, so that there’s nothing new left to say when something truly outstanding comes along: let us just urgently press you to try this immensely exciting and totally absorbing thriller — one of the finest examples of the genre that we’ve ever seen — you won’t regret it. NB: Not for young children or those of a nervous disposition though!”
