THE VANCOUVER Playhouse production of Peter Colley’s comedy thriller 1’! Be Back Before Midnight, passed a land- mark seventy five perfor- mances Sunday, March 24. It continues to run at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island,

Ill Be Back Before Mid- night, directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Walter Learning, is the longest- running Playhouse produc- tion since its inception 23 years ago. It stars Miriam Smith, Moira Walley, Colin Mochrie and Walter Marsh,

“Its effect an audiences is quite unique - especially in these days of big budget thrillers at the movies,’’ ex- plains Learning, ‘‘There is something thrilling about seeing’ a live performance, which may be taking place only a few feet away from you, that scares you ‘to death’.”” . .

The play is set in a coun- try farmhouse where Jan and Greg have moved to put their marriage back together. Jan has recently had a ner- vous breakdown and is strained further when Greg’s sister, Laura, comes to visit. Jan is convinced that Laura contributed to her having the breakdown, and is not hap- py about her ‘staying at the cottage. The excitement boils when the couple’s eccentric neighbour, George, tells Jan that a terrible murder was

committed in the house. The ©

situation deteriorates further until Colley brings us to the shocking and surprising climax.

The play has received crit-

_ ical as well as popular ac-

claim frora Vancouver au- diences.

For safety reasons, the Playhouse advises ticket buyers to come with a friend.
