A full house enjoyed the gala opening of Company Theatre’s production of Ira Levin's Deathtrap at the Rose Centre.  Deathtrap, written way back in 1978, is Ira Levin’s best-known play and after nearly 50 years still holds the record for being the longest running thriller on Broadway. Company Theatre members were joined by supporters and theatre enthusiasts from around the Shore and wider Auckland; the audience also included several directors who have directed more than half the 80 plays produced by Company Theatre in its 25-year history.
