Sidney Bruhl would do anything to publish the next great play. He would even kill for it. This dark comedy thriller will have audiences laughing one moment and screaming in terror the next as Sidney discovers he may not be the only murderer in the room.

Critic Reviews

“At the Garden Theatre, “Deathtrap” lands plenty of laughs and succeeds in thrilling with the plot’s twists and turns… there’s still life in the old thriller yet. Be prepared to laugh — and gasp — in equal measure.” – Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel

“Hilarity and homicide ensue, but in ways you won’t see coming, with so many plot twists and misdirects that even an audience with ESP might gasp, as the Garden’s sold-out house did all night long.” – Aaron Wallace, BroadwayWorld
