I've never heard of this before. Has anyone seen it?
I am a great admirer of Deathtrap, although this looks to be a darker story.

For a moment, I flashed back to that sitcom with Kirstie Alley. But that was a "closet," not a "room."
This does sound intriguing. I wish them luck! And I hope it's good.
The original production had quite an impressive cast. I kind of remember hearing about it at the time, although I've never seen or read it.

With the Inevitable Streep, no doubt.
Very cool. I never saw it but I have always been very intrigued by the play.

Holy crap, I saw a production of this when I was in college and I loved it. I've always thought it would make a great movie.
Saw it twice. Difficult play to perform. Creepy dark with crap in it for crap's sake. Only saw it a second time because I knew one of the performers. He didn't get his character, and neither apparently did anyone else in the cast.
That said, it could make a good movie I think if there was something added to the plot. Such as ... a plot.
Props to them for thinking outside the box. Levin had another Broadway thriller in the eighties called CANTORIAL, which also sounded interesting.

I saw the original production. All I remember is a stunning set. Eileen Heckert and someone wearing a very bad wig.
