SYNOPSIS

The fifth longest-running play in Broadway history, Ira Levin’s Deathtrap melds gasp-out-loud suspense with laugh-out-loud laughs, and continues to be one of the most-performed stage plays, with thousands of productions since its 1978 premiere attesting to its lasting audience appeal.

Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it?
