What really happens when the lights go out?
It is the "swinging sixties" and a young sculptor wants to impress a wealthy art collector. His current girlfriend wants him to impress her father. They "borrow" some furniture from the flat across the hall but their plans fall into chaos when the building is plunged into darkness by an electrical fault, the neighbour returns early from his holiday, the sculptor's former girlfriend arrives to renew their relationship and the prim spinster from the upstairs flat seeks refuge from the dark.
This witty farce, written by Peter Schaffer - author of Amadeus and Equus - is just the kind of light-hearted romp to put you in the mood for the Christmas season.
