16932A THEATRE company has chosen Ira Levin's thriller Deathtrap for its spring production.

Trowbridge Players has opted for the two-act thriller for its next production, based on the 1970s tale of a bitter playwright who is trying to overcome writer's block.

A student sends in his first attempt at playwriting and an unthinkable scheme is hatched by writer Sidney Bruhl and his wife Myra, involving deception and murder.

The production, the first of Trowbridge Player's three planned productions this year, will take to the stage at the Arc Theatre next Wednesday for four nights.

Tickets are available from the theatre costing £7.50 and £5.50 for concessions.
