Ricochet is a stage thriller by Malcolm Taylor which contains some comedic elements and a major plot twist.
The play toured the UK provinces in 1993 starring Nigel Havers, Keith Barron and Neil Stacey. The production was advertised for a West End Theatre opening which never materialised. The play subsequently had another provincial tour, again with Havers but a different support cast including Richard O'Callaghan. This production also failed to make the West End.
Robert Astor is a fictitious actor listed as a member of the cast. His character Disraeli, the butler of Lord Qualtrop, was played by another member of the cast, in a plot twist famously used in Anthony Shaffer's stage thriller Sleuth.
