| Darkness At Noon Playbill | "When playwright Sidney Kingsley set about reshaping Darkness At Noon for the stage, he visualized only one actor for the character of Rubashov, the sensitive, philosophic revolutionary confronted with the dilemma of our times--the individual versus the state. This role, Mr. Kingsley felt, was ideally suited for Claude Rains; and when Mr. Rains read the script, he agreed." |
