| In this play the usual conditions of light and dark are reversed: when the lights are "on" we see nothing but darkness; when they are "off" we see the characters behaving as if they were in black-out. Carol and Brindsely, an engaged couple, have invited a millionaire to see Brindsely's sculpture, and to impress him have "borrowed" antiques from a neighbour. Carol's formidable father is also expected. The lights fuse, and the arrival of several unexpected visitors effectively wrecks the evening. | |
