Without a success to his credit for some years, Sidney Bruhl receives a new, potential hit script called Deathtrap that was written by his student. Sidney plots with his reluctant wife Myra about how best to plagiarize the play and the evening takes a hilarious and dangerous turn.

Holding the record for the longest running comedy thriller on Broadway, this skillfully constructed play offers the perfect blend of two priceless theatrical ingredients; gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter.
