Little Theatre launches latest production

The Woy Woy Little Theatre's latest production, Wait Until Dark, starts Friday, August 12.

"Wait Until Dark is a thriller that would have men and women alike jumping in their seats in fright during the final confrontation between a blind housewife and a trio of ruthless con-men," said Woy Woy Little Theatre marketing manager Mr David Wicks.

A sinister con man (Adam Young) and two ex-convicts (Stephen Cummings and John Lusty) have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix (Michael Sheather) and his blind wife, Susy (Sierra Phillips).

As the couple are caught up in murder and mystery, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues in which Susy knows the only way she'll survive is to play by her rules - in the dark.

Director Ms Penny Dilworth said the complicated set for the play was set up in the theatre a fortnight before the play's debut to allow additional rehearsal time for Ms Phillips, who plays the blind woman Susy.

"Sierra's been relying on her senses of sound and touch to give the appearance of a blind person manoeuvring her way around her basement apartment," Ms Dilworth said.

Woy Woy Little Theatre presents Wait Until Dark at the Peninsula Theatre, at 8pm on Friday 12, 19, 26, Saturday 13, 20, 27 and 2pm on Saturday 27, Sunday 14, 21, 28.
