Night Must Fall
by Emlyn Williams
Directed by Ian Guy
Was performed 18th - 22nd September 2012 at The Shed.
Danny has already murdered one woman, and there is little doubt that he will soon murder another – the aged owner of a lonely house in a forest in Essex.
He gradually insinuates himself into her affections in a skilful manner, for Dan is a dashing young assassin, a completely self-centred psychopath with no feelings and a vast imagination, who is perpetually acting, for his own enjoyment, the part of the murderer.
He taunts the old ladies niece and plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse with everyone including the all knowing Inspector out to catch him.
