NOW EXTENDED to February 15

She can’t see them—but she knows they’re there. In this white-knuckle thriller, Susan Hendrix, newly blind, seems an easy mark when three ruthless criminals invade her Greenwich Village apartment. Forty-seven years after its 1966 premiere, Jeffrey Hatcher has adapted Frederick Knott’s (Dial ‘M’ for Murder) original script with crackling, claustrophobic, and calculated efficiency. When the lights go out, survival comes down to nerve, instinct, and the element of surprise.

In a Harlequin first, Wait Until Dark will be presented in monochrome, creating the illusion that the audience is watching a black-and-white film noir unfold live onstage.
