BLACK COMEDY
South Eugene Theater presents Black Comedy written by Peter Shaffer and directed by John Monteverde.
When the lights go out, the fun begins! A young artist tries to juggle his jealous fiancé, her strict Military father, a fussy neighbor, a drunken spinster, his mischievous ex-girlfriend, and a millionaire art collector ALL on the very same night, and all in the middle of a poorly timed blackout! Set in London during the swinging ‘60s, this is classic British farce at its wildest, complete with practical jokes, mistaken identities and physical comedy galore! “Some of the sight and sound gags are so flawless ... that the audience is reduced to jelly" – The Chicago Tribune
Black Comedy runs for two weekends; May 26th, 27th, 28th, June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the South Eugene Auditorium. Tickets are $7 for students and seniors, $10 for adults, and can be purchased online or at the box office a half hour before the show.
