Wait Until Dark

A masterfully constructed play for fans of spine-tingling thrillers, Wait Until Dark ran for two years on Broadway and the West End in the Swinging 1960s. The movie, starring Audrey Hepburn, ranks with classics of controlled suspense such as Rear Window and Night Must Fall.

Photographer Sam unwittingly brings a doll filled with narcotics into London, and three hardened con-men uncoil a deadly deception to get it back. Sam’s wife is a beautiful young woman who happens to be blind. She thinks she is safe alone in their Notting Hill flat – but a chair has been shifted from its usual position, a strange odour lingers in the air…

…and the terror is just beginning.
