Way back in 1980 I saw Ian Ogilvy (star of Return of the Saint) in Stage Struck at the Vaudiville Theatre in London. I was 15 0r 16 years old at the time & loved the play so much that I adapted part of it for my final drama exam, with myself playing the Ogilvy part naturally! It seems like a life time ago.
The play dates a little, but still stands the test of time. There penty of twists & some good dialogue in this comedy/thriller & although not quite as good as Ira Levin's Deathtrap it's well worth a read.
