About The Rat Trap

Rat Trap by Noël Coward is a compelling early work that delves into the emotional complexities of ambition, relationships, and creative identity. The play follows a young writer navigating the tension between personal desires and professional aspirations, set against the backdrop of London’s literary scene.

As ideals clash with reality, the characters grapple with choices that challenge their values and reshape their connections. With Coward’s signature wit and emotional depth, Rat Trap offers a sharp, introspective look at love, sacrifice, and the cost of staying true to oneself

It’s worth the applause!
