2. Black Comedy - Orange Tree Theatre

About: Young sculptor Brindsley Miller is on the brink of success.

He is expecting a visit from an influential art collector, whose approval could secure his future, and he is determined to present himself as sophisticated and successful.

The problem? His flat is sparsely furnished, most of the contents borrowed without permission from his neighbour – but when a sudden power cut plunges the building into darkness, Brindsley sees an opportunity.

In the absence of light, he believes his deception will go unnoticed. Unbeknownst to him, the audience can see everything.

When: 16-11 July
