Video Promo: BLACK COMEDY by Peter Shaffer, Blinn College, Brenham, February 22 - 25, 2018
Brindsley, a sculptor, and his fiancée, Carol, have borrowed expensive furniture from a neighbor without permission in order to impress a millionaire art collector coming to view the young artist’s work. When a blown fuse plunges the building into darkness, Carol’s militant father arrives, the neighbor returns early, and Brindsley’s ex-girlfriend shows up unexpectedly.
“It’s a British farce that takes place during a blackout and is really funny,” Nies said. “The gimmick is that when the lights are on and the audience sees the characters, that’s when the characters can’t see, and when the lights are off and the audience can’t see the characters, then the characters can see.”
The show opens at 7 p.m. on Feb. 22-24 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, in the O’Donnell Center.
