‘Deathtrap’
Deathtrap
, by Ira Levin, is an ingeniously
constructed play that offers gasp-inducing
thrills and spontaneous laughter. Sydney
Bruhl, a once-successful writer of Broad-
way thrillers, is struggling to overcome a
“dry spell,” which has resulted in a string
of failures. Fortune smiles on him when
he receives a script from Clifford Ander-
son, a man who attended a playwriting
seminar that Sydney conducted at a local
college. Sydney immediately recognizes
it as a sure hit. With the help of his wife,
Myra, Sydney devises a plan to invite Clif-
ford to his home and offer to collaborate
with the hope of getting his name on it as
co-author. Suspense mounts as the plot
twists with devilish cleverness, thanks
in part to neighbor Helga Ten Dorp, a re-
nowned Dutch psychic. Audiences will be
held spellbound until the final startling
moments of the play.
Opening night is Tuesday, April 29 and
the play runs through Saturday, May 3.
Tickets are available online, at theMember
Services Office, or at the door, if available.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the play begins
at 7 p.m., in the ballroom.
