Deathtrap at Draíocht

Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a ‘dry’ spell which has resulted in a string of failures. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a college student - a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. The student agrees to a collaboration and then the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness keeping the audience enthralled until the final, startling moments of the play.

This ingeniously constructed play offers a rare and skillful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients – gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. This is both a compelling examination of jealousy, revenge and artistic rivalry and a drama of dazzling wit and humor. The longest running comedy thriller on Broadway.
