"Deathtrap: a thriller in two acts. One set, five characters. A juicy murder in act one, unexpected developments in act two; a play to die for..." Sidney Bruhl

Seemingly comfortable in his charming country home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful playwright, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student at the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college. A thriller, which Sidney recognises immediately as a potential hit. Sidney invites the student to his house with the offer of collaborating on the script, and murder in mind. Thereafter the suspense mounts steadily as the plot takes many a twist and turn to keep you on the edge of your seat!
