Whangārei Girls' High School's senior students are taking a break from contemporary theatre to present two classic seasons of suspense.
Each year the year 13 drama students perform and put together a captivating show. This year they will be doing the same but with two shows - one this week, and another in August.
This week's show is Wait Until Dark by Frederick Knott.
The utterly chilling 1960s classic involves a body, a basement flat, a doll packed with drugs and three conmen; one of them a ruthless psychopath handy with a switchblade.
Wait Until Dark has been performed in theatres all over the world and is recognised as one of the most genuinely terrifying stage plays ever written.
