Saw an excellent performance of Frederick Knott’s “Wait Until Dark” at Circa last night.
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.
Oddly I’ve not seen the film - given it is my type of flick. But there were a number of “ahhh” moments in the film when various things occurred that I had seen referenced in movies/tv/internets I had seen.
