Don't Miss this Limited Run — One-Night Funny Play on May 17th

“Black Comedy,” written by Peter Shaffer, and directed by West Orange High School seniors Sam Selikoff and Dylan Schatell, has its one-night limited showing tonight, May 17, at 7pm, at the Little Theater, at West Orange High School. Tickets are $5.

Synopsis:

Black Comedy is a one-act farce by Peter Shaffer, first performed in 1965. The premise of the piece is that light and dark are transposed, so that when the stage is lit the cast are supposed to be in darkness and only when the stage is dark are they supposed to be able to see each other and their surroundings.

In the play, a young sculptor and his fiancée have borrowed some expensive antique furniture from a neighbour's flat without his permission to impress an elderly millionaire art collector. When the power fails, the neighbour returns early, other people also arrive unexpectedly, and matters descend into near-chaos.

Come out and support the arts — you will laugh and have a great time!
