Unknown dramatist Clifford Anderson has sent his new thriller to award-winning Broadway author Sidney for comment - or has he? Without a success to his credit for some years, Sidney plots with his reluctant wife Myra about how best to plagiarise 'Deathtrap' and when Clifford turns up to discuss the play with the 'Master' events take a sinister turn.

This play, as most, would be more enjoyable to watch than read. It's very “meta” and cyclical. It does a great job poking fun at thrillers and the audience for engaging with thrillers.
