Synopsis
Sculptor, Brindsley Miller, has ‘borrowed’ the antique furniture from his neighbour’s flat whilst he is away to impress his fiancee’s overbearing father and a wealthy art dealer who is interested in his sculptures. However, a blown fuse plunges the flat into darkness and his neighbour returns unexpectedly. Brindsley then desperately tries to return the ‘borrowed’ items before light is restored but this is hampered by unexpected visitors and events. (In an interesting reversal of light and dark conditions, the stage is dark when the flat is lit and then lit when the fuse has blown!)
