Black Comedy (Teatr Kamienica - ORLA Stage) - tickets

Event Description

'Black Comedy' by Peter Shaffer is one of the most frequently performed comedies in the world. The phenomenon of this play lies, among other things, in its reversed logic: when the lights go out on stage, the actors move freely as if their world were illuminated, but when the stage lights turn on, all the characters 'fall into darkness' and move around blindly, hence the comedy of the situation and a whole series of mishaps.

A young, promising sculptor faces a triple life chance. On the same day, a famous millionaire, an art connoisseur interested in buying his works, and a future potential buyer - the menacing Colonel - are supposed to appear in his apartment. He should make a stunning impression on both. Therefore, wanting to present himself in the best light, he borrows stylish furniture from an absent friend’s apartment. And everything would probably go smoothly if... suddenly the lights went out. The outage triggers an avalanche of unexpected events. In the darkness, everyone expected and a few unexpectedly guests meet. The demanding English fiancée along with her grandfather - an unstable military man; a lover who cannot stand opposition; a neighbor - an old maid, an amateur of psalm singing and strong drinks; a gay neighbor - charming, affected, exquisite, and infatuated with the main character. To top it all off, an electrician who is easy to mistake for a millionaire and finally the millionaire himself, whose appearance could easily be mistaken for that of a power plant worker.

The cast includes: Mateusz Damięcki / Piotr Ligienza, Marta Wierzbicka / Milena Staszuk, Elżbieta Jarosik, Andżelika Piechowiak / Anna Maria Jarosik, Tomasz Sapryk / Sebastian Konrad / Włodysław Grzywna, Jacek Lenartowicz / Piotr Zelt, Jacek Kopczyński, Albert Osik.

Duration of the performance: 130 minutes with an intermission.
On November 28, we will perform 'Black Comedy' for the 200th time. After the performance, we invite the audience to meet the actors!
