Black Comedy
By Peter Shaffer

The laughter begins when the lights go out!
Prodded by his debutante fiancée, Brindsley Miller just wants to perpetrate a harmless little deception to impress both his prospective father-in-law and a visiting millionaire art collector. Surely there’s no harm in swapping his shabby furnishings for those of his friend and neighbor Harold, who has excellent taste in furniture and just happens to be gone for the weekend.
But Brindsley hasn’t accounted for the inconvenient return of his former girlfriend Clea, a woman with a decidedly mischievous sense of humor, or the blown fuse that throws his entire apartment into darkness—with chaotic and hilarious results!
