Deathtrap

by Ira Levin

A diabolically clever, wildly popular stage & screen comedy-thriller!

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. One day he receives a script from a student author – 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? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness, and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.

“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.” – Cue Magazine

“The intricately fashioned plot contortions brought gasps, the comedy lines drew delighted chortles … ” – Hollywood Reporter
