A major revival of the classic, edge of your seat, thriller Wait Until Dark comes to Exeter next month.

Wait Until Dark first opened on Broadway in 1966, but many know it from the 1967 Hollywood film, where the lead role of Susy went to Audrey Hepburn, who was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for the role.

The UK tour of Frederick Knott's thriller, WAIT UNTIL DARK, starring Jack Ellis (Bad Girls) as Mike, Oliver Mellor (Coronation Street) as Sam Henderson and Karina Jones as Susy, with Graeme Brookes as Croker, Tim Treloar as Roat, Shannon Rewcroft as Gloria and Thomas McCarron as Policeman, opened at Devonshire Park Theatre in Eastbourne on 24 August. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Set amidst the social turbulence of 1960s London, the play follows the story of Susy, a blind woman who, left alone in her apartment, becomes the victim of an elaborate scam hatched by a group of conmen. Susy is left to fend for herself, and eventually finds a way to turn the tables on the conmen and give them a taste of life in the dark.

Graeme Brookes and Tim Treloar will play Croker and Roat respectively in Frederick Knott's thriller, WAIT UNTIL DARK. They join the previously announced Jack Ellis as Mike, Karina Jones as Susy and Oliver Mellor as Sam Henderson. Shannon Rewcroft and Thomas McCarron complete the cast as Gloria and Policeman.

The Original Theatre Company is delighted to present the national tour and a major revival of Frederick Knott's gripping thriller, WAIT UNTIL DARK, directed by Alastair Whatley and starring Jack Ellis as Mike, Karina Jones as Susy and Oliver Mellor as Sam Henderson.
