Unveiling the Thrills of "Deathtrap" at Stage West Calgary

Join me, Justin Stadnyk, as I delve into the riveting world of "Deathtrap," a Tony-nominated masterpiece by Ira Levin, currently captivating audiences at Stage West Calgary. In this season's must-see show, running from September 6 to November 10, 2024, I am thrilled to portray Clifford Anderson, a character whose ambition and mystery are central to the play's suspenseful twists.

"Deathtrap" holds the distinction of being one of the longest-running comedies-thrillers on Broadway and was famously adapted into a film starring Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve in 1982. The story unfolds around Sidney Bruhl, a once-celebrated playwright in a dire creative drought. Sidney's fortunes see a potential reversal when he encounters a script by Clifford Anderson, a student from his seminar. What begins as a collaborative opportunity spirals into a darkly comedic narrative filled with deceit and surprises, challenging the boundaries between truth and deception, mentorship and rivalry.

This production at Stage West Calgary, known for its engaging “play with your dinner” experience, promises an evening of intrigue and entertainment. The play's enduring popularity is a testament to its tight plot and the thrilling dynamic between the characters. As Clifford, I find the role both challenging and immensely rewarding, bringing to life the complex layers of ambition, vulnerability, and secrecy.

For those intrigued by classic thrillers with a modern twist, "Deathtrap" at Stage West is an unmissable event. Don't miss out on the opportunity to witness a tale of suspense and unexpected turns, where motivations are murky, and nothing is as it seems.
