Deathtrap

An ingenious comedy/thriller from the author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives. Sidney Bruhl is a once-successful playwright whose last several productions have flopped at the box office. He receives a script by a novice writer for a stage thriller entitled Deathtrap. The script is brilliant and Bruhl concocts a murder plot whereby he will offer to help rewrite the script, but will instead kill the novice and pass the play off as his own. The plan spirals out of control, with many thrills (and laughs) along the way.

One of the many critical raves about the play stated: “Two-thirds a thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy. Suspend your disbelief and be delighted. Scream a little. It’s good for you.” The show is rated PG-13 (adult situations, violence).
