Just because you can't see the danger, doesn't mean it's not there.
That's the theme of the latest production, Wait Until Dark, from Theatre Hawke's Bay, at the Playhouse Theatre.
Director Sandra Alsleben is a magnet for talented cast and skilfully brings to life this classic suspense thriller about Susy, a recently blinded woman.
Suzy is being terrorised in a life-threatening game with three diabolical thugs looking for a heroin-stuffed doll they believe is in her basement flat.
Their sinister plot is clever, but Susy's resourcefulness is not going to make things easy for them.
Alsleben played the lead role of Susy in 1991 at the Hampstead Garden Suburb Dramatic Society in London and is excited to finally have it on stage here with Theatre Hawke's Bay.
