The Deadly Game opened at the Savoy Theatre in London’s West End on 26 April 1967, running until 19 June of the same year. A courtroom drama, the play follows a stranded American salesman in the Swiss Alps, who agrees to participate in a mock murder trial hosted by retired legal professionals, only to find the game turning all too real.
