Deathtrap

Sidney Bruhl has not written a success in years. When a manuscript arrives from a former student — a thriller good enough to run for seasons — he starts turning over an idea he cannot quite put down. What follows is two acts of traps, double-crosses and reversals, each one funnier and nastier than the last.

Levin's comedy-thriller holds the record for the longest-running of its kind on Broadway, and it earns it. Come for the laughs, stay for the moment the audience gasps as one.
