WAIT UNTIL DARK BY FREDERICK KNOTT

All roles are open and available.

Susy Hendrix (mid 20s-early 30s) Susy Hendrix lost her sight in a recent automobile accident and has had to adjust to life as a blind woman. She wants nothing more than to have her independence back. She relies on her husband to give her strength but struggles with loneliness and dependence since the accident. Her perfectionist nature causes her to keep an orderly home. Having everything in its place has become a necessity since losing her vision. Great resourcefulness does allow her some autonomy. She is warm-hearted and trusting but can have a biting edge to her personality when she is provoked. Susy’s cleverness and quick thinking allow her to observe more than most people can with just their eyes.

Harry Roat, Jr. (40s-50s) Roat is a cruel and sinister individual. He uses his extreme cunning to get the upper hand and achieve whatever outcome he desires. He is cold, calculating, callous and violent. He selfishly pursues his own interests and demands others to become complicit with his schemes. Roat has no interest in humor and does not suffer fools for long. He takes great pleasure in watching his prey suffer and has no remorse when torturing them. Roat’s enemies end up dead. He is a great game player and a master of disguise.

Mike Talman (30s) Mike Talman is an ex-convict that easily gains people’s trust. Mike’s life has forced him into a life of crime and it is a cycle he cannot escape. Working as a con man comes naturally to him and he is very good at his chosen profession. He is suave, smart, and seductive. His charisma and keen intelligence allow him to spin fantastic yet fully believable lies. He can effortlessly take on other personas and is incredibly detailed in the characters he creates. He does have some empathy for others but it is not strong enough to stop his greed.

Sgt. Carlino ( 40s-50s) Carlino is a corrupt ex-cop and a con man who has had many prior convictions. Money and greed drives all that he does. An experienced criminal, he proves better at lending muscles to an operation than brains. He can prove to be a liability when his clumsiness creates trouble for himself and those around him. He can be impulsive, sloppy, and a bit of a brute. He has a difficult time keeping his cool in situations that demand immense attention to detail. Carlino is someone you want to have to handle the dirty work.

Sam Hendrix (30s) Sam Hendrix is a photographer who works diligently in his studio office and often brings work home. He is committed to his to work and seeks perfection in the images he creates. His perfectionist nature defines every task he takes on as he completes it to the utmost quality. As a veteran, he has a strong sense of self-discipline that defines his personality. Sam has struggled to give his wife a sense of independence since her accident and is persistent in demanding she learn to do things on her own. He loves Susy very much, but wants her to challenge herself to be independent and self-sufficient.
