Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams
This is a Bonnie Bryant production, opening in August 1968. It was the Wyong Drama Group entry into the Arts Council's Drama Festival sponsored by the Bank of New South Wales. It was adjudicated by Mr Reid Douglas. The play was later reprised by Bonnie in 1991. The play is a very good thriller from the 1930s. Danny is a wickedly charming Irish bellhop who wins the confidence of an elderly invalid. The old woman's niece is not so easily swayed by Danny's blarney, but she finds him strangely attractive, especially when he exhibits a streak of viciousness. Even when the possibility arises that Danny is a wanted murderer, Rosalind is hesitant to call the police. The final scene, in which Danny ambles around the house carrying a hatbox that may or may not contain Ms Whitty's head, is unforgettable. Night Must Fall programme (pdf file, 254,653 bytes)
