A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? DEATHTRAP provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness, and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment. It holds the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway, and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play.   "*DEATHTRAP* provides twists, turns, shocks and surprises that have held audiences rapt since its Broadway debut."
