vintage farce in the tradition of Brian Rix & Sid James
Black Comedy
A first time at the fringe for this talented young company from Grimsby. The students of Havelock Academy run every aspect of the theatre company themselves and have pulled out all the stops for this their first fringe production.
Its "Carry on" in the dark and a right carry on it is too. A young sculptor gets himself into a right pickle by pretending to be what he is not and all in the context of a black out caused by a faulty fuse box. And if you are wondering how the audience can see what is going on while the actors grope about on a pitch black stage then go see for yourself. It is all done by the magic of theatre. This is vintage farce in the tradition of Brian Rix and Sid James. There's slapstick double entendres and even a camp antiques collector.
And the moral of this tale? Well there is one but you have to grope about in the dark a bit in order to find it.
