In Ira Levin's Deathtrap, Sidney Bruhl is a successful Broadway thriller writer who hasn't had a hit in years. Then a former student sends him a new play so good that Sidney begins joking with his wife about killing the young playwright and claiming the script as his own. At least, she thinks he's joking. From there, the play races through one startling twist after another, building to a finale that is as funny as it is suspenseful. Ingeniously constructed and wickedly entertaining, Deathtrap became the longest-running comedy-thriller in Broadway history.
