This rather offbeat comedy is set in London in the flat of a young artist. He is trying to impress his girlfriend's father who he is meeting for the first time and a rich German art collector who is coming to look at his work

He decides to "borrow" some of his neighbour's furniture in the hope of making a good impression. The problems begin when a fuse blows and the lights go out. This means that most of the play is set in darkness. To deal with this, Thorpe Players used an ingenius lighting plot. When is was dark the stage was lit so that the audience could see but the actors pretended that they couldn't. When it was light the stage was in darkness (nearly).

Excellent performances from Simon Taylor, Rebecca Gotts, Sarah Rathbone and Isobel Munday led to a riotous evening of lies and revelations.
