[Jeff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty standard mystery-thriller fare. The plot is pretty clever with some nice twists and turns, but the success of any production of this play would rest a great deal on the actors imbuing these relatively stock characters with emotional depth.

It tries to be a clever murder mystery but the exposition is heavy handed and the characters are one dimensional. Deathtrap does it so much better.

Average, competent if unsurprising murder mystery (?). No DEATHTRAP, for sure, feels more like a TV movie or episode.
