Love and Murder. . . . . . and Vice-Versa Night fell on AHS, and the English fog rolled in on the stage as the first theater production Night Must Fall got under way. The drama, written by Emlyn Williams, is a classic tale of love and murder . . . not necessarily in that order. Cast members were Julie Stout, Brian Walker, B. J. Rardin, Van Huff, Linda Goyer, Liz Siebert, Ross Hall and Karla Eldridge. November 14, 15, and 17 were the perform- ance dates. The set was an old Victorian house, the home of Mrs. Bramson, a wealthy woman who pretends to be crip- pled. A local hotel woman has been murdered near Mrs. Bramson's home, and the arrival of the unstable Danny sets the show for an evening of eerie entertainment. Above: One finds many strange things when probing through another's suit- case. Mrs. Terrance (Liz Siebert), Hubert (Van Huff), Olivia (Julie Stout) and Dora (Karla Eldridge) are looking for clues in Danny's luggage to the murder of a woman outside Mrs. Bramson's house. 18
