Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams
This had previously been performed in 1968, and was then (as now) directed by Bonnie Bryant. This version opened on 22 August 1991 and closed on 31 August. 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.
