Connie Booth Three retired men of law on a remote mountain in Switzerland amuse themselves by going through the legal ceremony of prosecuting strangers who drop in. An American traveling salesman is their guest on a snowy evening. Although their "deadly game" seems foolish to him, he agrees to it to humor his hosts. Since he has never been guilty of a crime in his life, he is unable to propose anything they can try him for. After a little amiable social conversation, the retired prosecutor discovers a plausible case. He accuses the traveling salesman of having murdered his boss. At first, this appears to be a wild improvisation. But Mr. Yaffe, using Mr. Durrenmatt's novel as a source book, gradually makes something real out of phantoms. By ingenious questioning, he proves his case out of the witness' own mouth --New York Times THE DEADLY GAME was first presented by Alton Wilkes and Joe Manchester in association with Emil Coleman at the Longacre Theatre, New York City, on February 2, 1960.
