Description

The story follows desperate and poor sculptor Brindsley who, in the hope of selling his latest work to a millionaire art dealer, has embellished his apartment with furniture and objects d’arts ‘borrowed’ from their antique collector neighbour Harold, who is away for the weekend.

All goes well, until a power cut plunges everyone into darkness, Harold comes home early, the spinster from upstairs comes down for company in the darkness and - the final injury - Brindsley’s potential father-in-law arrives!

This is a really funny play and you will leave having been entertained!
