Sidney Bruhl  is a once-successful writer of Broadway thrillers. Unfortunately he is suffering from a string of failures as well as a serious shortage of funds.  Just in time, a former student sends him a manuscript of a play that has all the signs of being a blockbuster hit.  With his wife’s help, Sidney devises a plan to murder the young playwright and take the credit for himself.  Filled with twists and turns, and sprinkled with humor, Deathtrap is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat until the final thrilling moments of the play. The production features Karen Gail Kessler of Barrington and Rick Braun of East Providence (pictured), as well as C. Richard Koster, Jeff Ararat and Michelle L. Walker, and is directed by Brian Mulvey.
