A Regina theatrical production will be bringing a classic British play to a local audience this June.
The play, Black Comedy, is a one-act performance written by English playwright Peter Shaffer. The plot concerns a struggling sculptor trying to impress a wealthy patron, whose attempt at a dinner party is interrupted by a power blackout.
The Regina production will be directed by Derek Klassen and produced by Regina Little Theatre. The show’s four-day run will include evening performances, as well as a weekend matinee. Black Comedy was first performed on Broadway in 1965 and has periodically been revived on the Great White Way and in London’s West End.
Black Comedy is part of the 95th season of Regina Little Theatre, which produces live theatre starring local talent. The company is coming off a successful staging of Now & Again this April, as well as an appearance at Theatrefest in Melfort, Saskatchewan, which saw it take home two awards. Black Comedy will be the final play of Regina Little Theatre’s 2021-22 season, which marked its return to the stage after an absence of over a year.
Local theatre companies such as this often use tools such as banner printing and borrowed props to conjure a complete world on stage.
The Regina Little Theatre production of Black Comedy is scheduled to run from June 8 to the 11, with all performances taking place at the Regina Performing Arts Centre.
