A washed-up playwright, Sydney, finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he'd be willing to kill for. Having not written a hit play for 18 years, he receives a script from a former student, Clifford, that’s a guaranteed success. His wife, Myra, suggests the two should collaborate and Sydney jokes that it would 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 Helga - 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 a sharply funny play full of twists and turns that keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
The play is set in Westport Connecticut.
