Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student who has attended the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college – a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Can Sidney take advantage of this inexperienced writer? Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer to collaborate with the student for co-credit. Or is it? Two-thirds thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy.

Our cast, in order of appearance, is as follows:

Sidney Bruhl – Paul Barrass
