Black Comedy & Dinner for One

BLACK COMEDY
Struggling artist Brindsley Miller and his fiancée Carol are having a party with the aim of impressing Carol's bombastic father, Colonel Melkett, and millionaire Georg Bamberger, who may buy some of Brindsley's sculptures. They have borrowed (without permission) the furniture and effects of their fussy neighbor, Harold, to make the flat more presentable. Before the guests arrive the main fuse blows, plunging the flat into darkness; only we, the audience, can see what is happening. What follows is a frantic romp with unexpected visitors, mistaken identities, and surprises lurking in every dark corner! The result, as you might expect, is chaotic, disastrous and very funny!

DINNER FOR ONE
Dinner for One, is the 90th birthday of elderly upper-class Englishwoman Miss Sophie, who hosts a dinner every year for her close friends Mr Pommeroy, Mr Winterbottom, Sir Toby and Admiral von Schneider to celebrate the occasion. The problem is that given Miss Sophie's considerable age, she has outlived all of her friends, and so butler James makes his way around the table, impersonating each of the guests in turn. During the four-course dinner, he repeatedly drinks a toast on behalf of all four absent guests, consuming a total of 16 drinks...and acts accordingly.
