DEATHTRAP at the Mill at Sonning Theatre: It’s an enjoyable and well-paced production, not a minute longer than it needs to be.

The political backdrop seems fitting for a show about deceptions and lying, and this amusing and absorbing production provides a couple of hours of joyous escapism.

What a show of this nature does demonstrate is that snobby conduct and a tendency to look out only for one’s own interests is nothing new.

This is a heart-warming seasonal treat without being specifically about the festive period. A sparkling and joyful experience.

Class distinctions and societal norms are explored sufficiently, but the production lacks the whimsicality of a Noel Coward play whilst also lacking the gravitas of an Agatha Christie plot.
