Noël Coward’s first play, The Rat Trap, is heading to Park Theatre in 2026 with a new reimagining from Bill Rosenfield to mark the play’s centenary.
Set in 1920s Belgravia, it charts the unravelling marriage of two writers whose love is tested by ambition, jealousy, and betrayal.
In fashionable 1920s Belgravia, Sheila, a talented novelist, and Keld, an aspiring playwright, embark on married life. Both are fiercely ambitious, but when Keld’s career takes off and Sheila’s doesn’t, professional jealousy and an affair have a devastating effect on their marriage.
Produced by Troupe, The Rat Trap opens in Park200 on February 2, 2026, with previews from January 28, and runs until March 14.
