I'll Be Back For You
Before Midnight', the
early season hit of 1979
returns to the Festival
stage again in 1980. Peter
Colley's comedy -thriller
has - been getting
recognition across North
America since it
premiered at Blyth last

to get tickets to the sold
out performances last
... year .will ipow, have -a;
chance to see why
audiences were shrieking
with fear one second and
laughter the next. For
those who saw the show
