English playwright Frederick Knott has received a special award from us: Guy Who Wrote the Most Familiar-Sounding Plays We’ve Never Actually Seen. One of them, Dial M for Murder, became a Hitchcock film and, based on Wikipedia’s plot description, is hella complicated — if anyone really did dial M, it would be the most straightforward activity of the entire evening. Wait Until Dark, Knott’s other super-well-known title, is a well-crafted story that can be described succinctly: Blind lady turns the tables on bad guys by leaving them in the dark. That’s not a spoiler; the audience’s journey from here to there crackles with suspense and peril.
