Plot Summary:To make Sidneys slump all the more painful, Clifford Anderson, a student of one of Sidneys writing seminars, has recently sent his mentor a copy of his first attempt at playwrighting for Sidneys review and advice. The play, Deathtrap, is a five character, two act thriller so perfect in its construction that, as Sidney says, A gifted director couldnt even hurt it. Using his penchant for plot, and out of his desperate desire to once again be the toast of Broadway, Sidney, along with Myra, cook up an almost unthinkable scheme Theyll lure the would-be playwright to the Bruhl home, kill him, and market the sure-fire script as Sidneys own. But shortly after Clifford arrives, its clear that things are not what they seem! Indeed, even Helga Ten Dorp, a nosey psychic from next door, and Porter Milgram, Sidneys observant attorney, can only speculate where the line between truth and deception lies.
