Deathtrap at Stage Coach Theatre

“Deathtrap”

Written by Ira Levin
Directed by Jeff Thomson

In this classic comedic thriller, a washed-up playwright finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he’s willing to kill 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? A sharply funny play full of twists and turns that keep an audience on the edge of their seats.
