I haven't seen Deathtrap as a play out on broadway, or more of a professional theatre, but 2 years ago, the high school I went to, did this story as its fall play.
And here is the film verison starring Michael Caine, the late Christopher Reeve, and Dyan Cannon as the playwright's frusted wife, and he might be frusted to.
The plots differ somewhat and 'Sleuth' has a better script, but this movie is worthy of 4 and 1/2 to 5 stars though.
