WAIT UNTIL DARK, Arizona Theatre Company, November 13 - 30, 2014

Written by Frederick Knott
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher

A gripping thriller from the author of Dial M For Murder.

Don’t let Susan Hendrix’s quaint Greenwich Village apartment fool you; hidden within is a treasure for which conmen would kill. Susan, tragically blinded in an automobile accident, unwittingly becomes the key player in a dangerous game threatening all she holds dear. Employing disguise and deception, two crooks become increasingly desperate and depraved, but must wait until dark to play out this classic thriller’s chilling conclusion. Spellbinding theatre as only ATC can do it.

“...a roller-coaster ride that leaves the audience giddy from terror.” – TheatreMania

Currently running off-Broadway to critical raves and packed houses, The New York Times calls Murder for Two “INGENIOUS! A snazzy double-act that spins out a comic mystery animated by funny, deftly turned songs.” You won’t want to miss this killer musical comedy!
