Baystar opens 'Black Comedy' in Rehoboth C t. 2
Brindsley Miller had an impor-
tant evening planned. A million-
aire art collector was coming to
his impoverished artist's flat to
look at his sculptures - maybe
even buy one. Brindsley could be
on the threshold of artistic fame
and fortune.
But fate is not so kind to Brind-
sley in the Baystar Dinner Theatre
production of "Black Comedy," a
British farce by Peter Shaffer
which opens at the Sea Horse
Restaurant on Thursday, Oct. 2,
and continues on Thursday and
Friday evenings through Oct. 31.
"Black Comedy" gets its name
from the fact that throughout most
of the production the actors are in
what is darkness to them but
bright light to the audience.
Just as Brindsley and his brand
new fiancee Carol have finished
replacing his packing crate furni-
ture with fine antiques borrowed
from his neighbor's flat across the
hall - to impress the art collector,
the neighbor being away on holi-
day - a main fuse blows, plunging
the building into darkness. The
Craft Fair

The Lewes Historical Society'
craft fairs are among the area's
most popular craft events. Situat-
ed in the quiet village-like setting
of the Society's Historical Com-
plex, these shows attract thou-
sands of visitors. The summer
skids are suddenly greased and
Brindsley's important evening
starts on a downward slide.
Momentum increases with the
arrival of an upstairs neighbor,
Miss Furnival, who is terrified of
the dark. Then comes Col.
Melkett, Carol's father, a retired
regimental colonel whose rages
have been known to intimidate
even God. He has come to see if
Brindsley is qualified to be his lit-
tle dumpling's future husband.
The evening reaches downward
in warp speed when Harold Gor-
ringe, the neighbor from whom
Brindsley has borrowed the an-
tique furniture, returns home early
from his holiday. As Brindsley
frantically tries to return the furni-
ture in the blackout without
Harold's knowledge, Clea, his ex-
girlfriend and roommate of four
years, returns to re-establish their
relationship. Thus Brindsley's
evening speeds toward total de-
struction.
"Black Comedy" is directed by
Geoff Thompson of Lewes and is
produced by Patty Alexander of
event has run continuously for
nearly 30 years. Admission for the
Autumn Fair is only $2. The rain
date is October 5. Food and bever-
ages will be sold on the grounds.
All proceeds benefit the Lewes
Historical Society. Craft Fair

Braithwaite and Steve Rogers.
Marie Adams is in charge of vol-
unteers.
