"Wait Until Dark" was written by Frederick Knott and first performed on Broadway in 1966. It was also turned into a movie that earned cast members Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. Current audiences might think they remember and are prepared for the tension and surprises of the story. All are reminded that this staged and filmed creation has ranked tenth in judging the 100 scariest scenes in a mystery thriller. Closing your eyes might not make any difference. It's dark in the main character's world anyway. Come with a good friend whose arm you can grip.
So, don't delay purchasing your tickets. Many who delayed found themselves closed out of sold-out performances of recent shows performed by Possum Point Players.
