Black Comedy

By Peter Shaffer

About the Show

When struggling artist Brindsley Miller “borrows” his neighbor’s elegant furniture to impress his fiancée’s father and a wealthy art collector, he thinks he’s staged the perfect evening. Then the power fails. What follows? A parade of colorful, duplicitous guests stumbling through a pitch-black room, while the audience sees every frantic whisper, flying chair, and desperate attempt to hide the evidence in full light. Secrets collide. Furniture shifts. Surprise visitors arrive at the worst possible moment.

It’s fast, physical, and gloriously upside down, where darkness shines brightest and disaster has never looked so funny.
