Deceived at Everyman Theatre

Oh what tangled webs we weave when we practice to— get out from under the manipulative fist of the patriarchy who relies heavily on the normalization of harmful tactics like gaslighting. Not the single-word response you were expecting? Good. Because this isn’t your grandma’s Gaslight. Though it’s been adapted from that play (by Patrick Hamilton) by Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson, this ‘gaslight of a thriller’— Deceived is not your classic case of a woman being manipulated into questioning her own sanity,

But what happens when the death of a friendship is eminent? How do friends behave when the threads that bind them are no longer frayed but thinly grizzled and hardly friends at all?

Review: Deathtrap at Everyman Theatre

 There’s no place like home for the holidays. Everyman Theatre is bringing home five of their company members for a holiday performance like no other this December as they mount Ira Levin’s classic thriller Deathtrap on their stage for Christmas. Directed by founding Artistic Director Vincent M. Lancisi, a little suspense makes the perfect stocking stuffer this season. Equal parts comedy and suspense; the precarious balance between darkly humorous and spine-tingling is delivered exceptionally in this devilishly thrilling performance.
