Written by Frederick Knott, "Wait Until Dark" opened in New York in 1966. In 1967 the film version made its debut starring Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna and Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
"Wait Until Dark" is the story of a blind woman who is terrorized by a trio of thugs while they search for a heroin stuffed doll they believe is in her apartment. This psychological thriller probes which frightens us more – the evil you can see coming, or the one you can’t. The Bradley Playhouse production is directed by William Corriveau. Paul Neuhardt is the assistant director. Alyson Fowler leads the cast as the blind Susy Hendrix. The trio of thugs that provide her terror are Corey Beaudette as Mike Talman, Richard Skog playing evil ringleader Harry Roat and Gregory Nichols appearing as Sgt. Carlino. Susy’s husband, Sam, is played by Kyle Marier and Dakota Madden is her young neighbor, Gloria. The cast is completed by Sarri Patterson and Dante Lamusta as police officers.
