LGBTQ+, Farce

What Happens in the Dark

In this laugh-out-loud, award-winning farce, the lights are "opposite" – what’s dark to the characters is fully visible to you. When a burglar breaks into a married couple’s home, long-buried secrets come spilling out. Over one chaotic night, they must outwit the intruder, maintain their compounding lies and somehow save their marriage, all while navigating total darkness. Packed with wild physical comedy, mistaken identities and escalating mayhem, this high-energy comedy keeps audiences laughing from start-to-finish. Winner of the StageCrafts Freeway Circuit Award and Nominee for Hollywood Fringe Best Comedy.
