Wait Until Dark
by Frederick Knott
adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
directed by Anne M. Byrd
In 1944 Greenwich Village, Susan Hendrix, an independent blind woman, is imperiled by a trio of men in her own apartment. As the climax builds, Susan discovers that her blindness just might be the key to her escape, but she and her tormentors must wait until dark to play out this classic thriller's chilling conclusion.
This is a new adaptation by Twin Cities playwright Jeffrey Hatcher. You may remember the 1967 film starring Audrey Hepburn.

The Shape of Things
by Neil LaBute
directed by Jamil Jude
After a chance meeting in a museum, Evelyn, a sexy, aggressive artist, and Adam, a shy, insecure student, become embroiled in an intense affair. Before long, it veers into dangerous and seductive territory, as Adam, under Evelyn's steady influence, goes to unimaginable lengths to improve his appearance and character. Only in the final and shocking exhibition, which challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about art and love, does Evelyn reveal her true intentions.

Love Letters
by A.R. Gurney
This award-winning play is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the letters are read aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, and frequently funny evening of theatre. Join Daleko Artistic Directors, Ben Thietje and Amanda White, for a truly wonderful Valentine's evening. Proceeds from this evening of entertainment will be put toward further renovation of the Prague Theater.
