Cortland Rep’s Wait Until Dark
Wait Until Dark, now running at the Cortland Repertory Theatre is a psychological thriller in which a woman triumphs over overwhelming adversity and realizes her inner strengths. It’s not exactly a new story but Susan, played by a clear-voiced and visually controlled and expressiveAnna Gion, has several strikes against her. She was blinded in an accident 18 months earlier and is dependent on a husband who is out of town and has unknowingly given her a doll stuffed with stolen diamonds before he left. Susan struggles to overcome her devastating disability, while strivingto be independent from her well-meaning but infantilizing husband, Sam. He leaves the neighbor’s daughter Gloria, smartly played by Adeline Morey as an appropriately petulant andoppositional pre-teen, to look after Susan. Gloria steals the doll from Susan’s apartment just before three diamond smugglers show up to reclaim the doll and their booty. The smugglers concoct an elaborate scheme to trick Susan into giving them the doll, terrorizing her with invented stories about Sam’s infidelity with a woman who turns up dead in the neighborhood, and that the police are looking for him. The three con artists, Brennan Lowery as the ringleader Roat, Derek Emerson Powell asSam’s supposed friend from the military, Mike, and a crooked ex-cop Arthur Lazalde masquerading as the detective Carlino all conspire to terrorize and prey upon Susan’s frailties.
