Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Deathtrap
by Ira Levin
Directed by Rob Mess
Westport, Connecticut. Sidney Bruhl was once the king of Broadway thrillers—now he's a has-been with four consecutive flops and a dwindling bank account. Then a former student sends him a script so good, so perfectly constructed, that it's guaranteed to be a smash hit. Sidney's wife suggests collaboration. Sidney has another idea. What follows is a wicked game of cat and mouse—except it's never quite clear who's the cat. The twists keep twisting. The bodies may or may not stay dead. And everyone on stage might be writing the same play. The longest-running comedy-thriller in Broadway history, and every bit as devious as its reputation suggests.
