Deathtrap

Deathtrap at Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace

Why see Deathtrap?

You'll Laugh until You Die...

A one of a kind comedy-thriller, Deathtrap is a suspenseful murder mystery with twists and turns that will keep you guessing who the true villain is, its moments of tension inter-spaced with genuine belly laughs. The story is set in the house of playwright Sidney Bruhl, who hasn't had a hit in years. He's just received a manuscript from a student, Clifford, and jokes with his wife that it's good enough to kill for. But when Clifford turns up at the house, it appears that Sidney may not have been joking after...

Written by Ira Levin, this show was a huge hit in its time (earning a Tony nomination) and continues to be a regional theatre favorite. Deceit, plot reversals, sinister intentions and clever characters make Deathtrap one of the greatest crime stories of all time, plus it's also hilarious!
