Deathtrap at Long Beach Playhouse

Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer, is struggling to overcome a “dry” spell. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student—a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney’s plan, which he devises with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. This is where the suspense mounts and the plot twists with thrills and laughs.
