AUDITION NOTICE: Night Must Fall - Toowoomba Repertory Theatre

Title: Night Must Fall

Presented By: Toowoomba Repertory Theatre

Genre: Classic Drama


Synopsis: Written in 1935 by the famous English playwright Emlyn Williams, Night Must Fall is a powerful drama that explores timeless themes of human weakness and the evil that can emerge from the human heart. The story's tension builds Hitchcockian-style, culminating in a thrilling denouement. The play follows the imperious Mrs. Bramson, who learns that her young maid Dora is pregnant and summons the presumed father, the charming but mysterious Dan. As suspicions arise regarding Dan’s intentions and a recent murder, the characters are drawn into a dangerous web of attraction and deception.
