The John W. Engeman Theater Will Present WAIT UNTIL DARK, Beginning 1/24

By: Jan. 09, 2013

Announcing the cast and creative team for the tense thriller, Wait Until Dark, where a cool-as-ice psychopath smooth talks his way into the home of an unsuspecting blind woman. She soon discovers she's harboring a dangerous prize and that he'll try anything to get it. Previews begin on Thursday, January 24 at 8:00 p.m.; with the official opening on Saturday, January 26 at 8:00 p.m. and running through March 10, 2013.

Frederick Knott's thriller is the story of Susy Hendrix, a recently blinded housewife who becomes the target of three con-men searching for illicit drugs. Susy's husband, Sam, had been persuaded by a strange woman to transport a child's doll across the border, not knowing what was being smuggled inside. This masterfully constructed drama moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene. This play, that starred Audrey Hepburn in the film version, is one that will have you sitting on The Edge of your seat. Patrons are asked not to reveal the ending of the play.

Wait Until Dark is produced by RICHARD T. DOLCE, the theater's Producing Artistic Director.
