Wait Until Dark
by Waco Civic Theatre
Aug. 30
This is the kind of thriller that gets you in the mood for Halloween by turning an ordinary New York apartment into a place of pure dread.
Frederick Knott’s classic suspense play follows Susy Hendrix, a woman who has recently lost her sight and suddenly finds herself trapped in a deadly game with con men searching for a mysterious doll. What begins as a deception becomes a battle of nerve, intelligence, and survival as Susy realizes the only way out is to outthink men who believe they control the dark.
The play earned Lee Remick a Tony Award nomination, then became the acclaimed film.
Its power has never really faded. Reviewing a later production, Talkin’ Broadway wrote, “If you like a thrilling story with plenty of plot turns, Wait Until Dark is a terrific choice.”
Parental guidance advised for suspense, violence, and themes of menace and peril.
Suspense is coming to Waco Civic Theatre.
