Ewan Miller, Lily Nichol and Angela Sims will star in a reimagining of Noël Coward’s The Rat Trap, coming to Park Theatre’s Park200 from January 2026.
Adapted by Bill Rosenfield, Kirsty Patrick Ward directs Miller as Keld Maxwell, Nichol as Sheila Brandreth and Sims as Burrage.
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.
The Rat Trap charts the unravelling marriage of two writers whose love is tested by ambition, jealousy, and betrayal. Startlingly moving yet rich with Coward’s trademark wit and dark humour, this stylish period revival marks the centenary of his first play.
The creative team includes set and costume designer Libby Watson, lighting designer Jamie Platt, sound designer and composer Ed Lewis and movement director Ingrid Mackinnon.
The production opens at Park200 on February 2, 2026, with previews from January 28, and runs until March 14. Tickets here.
