Black Comedy - Komödie im Dunkeln

In the organizer's words:

Comedy world success by Peter Shaffer

This play is illuminated by an ingenious idea: the stage is light when it is dark for the actors and dark when the lights come on. While the actors lose their bearings on stage and do things they would be ashamed of in the light, the audience is amused by the numerous blunders lurking in the darkness, hardly any of which are missed. Brindsley, a young, unemployed artist and his fiancée are expecting a visit from a rich Russian patron of the arts. To impress him and his future father-in-law, he has "borrowed" his shabby furniture in exchange for the exquisite antiques of his out-of-town neighbor Harold. When the fuse blows, Brindsley's by no means written-off ex-girlfriend Clea, Miss Furnival, the booze hound from next door, and neighbor Harold, who has returned early from his vacation, come crashing in - the chaos seems complete. But it gets even worse, because the mechanic who is supposed to repair the short circuit, Carol's father, who knows nothing about his daughter's engagement and, last but not least, the long-awaited art collector all turn up.
