After its GLT run, the show will be moving to production partner Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s outdoor facility in May. Considering how late the sun sets there at that time of year, actually waiting until dark will be more of a stage direction than a title. And it just may provide the added suspense this play so sorely needs.

Wait Until Dark continues
the GLT tradition of producing a mystery as part of its season offerings. Those who love murder mysteries may well be
enthused, but both script and production do not reach the level of
effectiveness of previous shows of this genre.

Think of this dated play as a glass of fine champagne
that has been left out too long. It tastes the same but has lost all of its
fizz. In spite of the best efforts of everyone involved they simply cannot
return the original effervescent of when it was fresh and new.

In this misbegotten production at Great Lakes Theater, there are virtually no thrills and a remarkable absence of chills.

Feeling helpless? Imagine the plight of Susy Hendrix, blind and trapped in a room with a murderous drug dealer. That’s just one plot turn in Wait Until Dark, an engaging thriller staged by Great Lakes Theater at PlayhouseSquare’s Hanna Theatre.

David Ritchey
Wait Until Dark has script problems that make it a strange choice for Great Lakes Theater. Even the movie, with the talented Audrey Hepburn, doesn't hold up well 50+ years later.

The problems plaguing the Great Lakes Theater production of "Wait Until Dark" are baked into teh script that seems, well, blind to its own ridiculousness.
