A washed-up playwright finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he’d be willing to K*ll for. Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a hit play for 18 years when he receives a script from a former student, Clifford Anderson, that’s a guaranteed success. His wife, Myra, suggests the two men could collaborate; Sidney jokes that it’d be just as easy to murder the young man and steal the script for his own. When Clifford arrives later that evening, no one–not even the visiting psychic–could predict where the dark events of the night will go. Who is innocent? Who only seems that way? Is anyone really safe when a man sees a clean shot at success?Deathtrap is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service.
