  • 1.  Alfred Hitchcock type one act...

    Posted 05-08-2023 11:04

    Hello again.
    I'm a major fan of Alfred Hitchcock's work because he was the master of suspense.  Can anyone recommend a one act for HS students that has a bit of Hitchcock?
    Thanks

    These plays by Lucille Fletcher might work.    Also check out Wait Until Dark

    I appreciate this - thanks! Just looked into  Night Watch, and even though it's not a one act, it just entered my wish list!

    You can find Dial M for Murder as a stage play at Dramatic Publishing or Concord Theatricals.

    Thanks! It only has one female character, so it won't work. Thanks anyway!

    Stephen Gregg's one-act plays often remind me of Hitchcock. Have you looked at "One Land Bridge" and "The New Margo?"
