What Happens in the Dark
What Happens in the Dark runs on a clever, well-executed concept: the audience sees everything the characters, plunged into darkness, cannot - and the lights snap on and off according to what's dark to them rather than to us. It's a neat inversion of the usual black-out gag, and the cast make the most of it, with tightly choreographed slapstick timing. There are several genuinely big laughs and the script is quick and witty, tossing fun in-jokes ("I'm in the dark here, Sharon") and fourth-wall breaks into the mix.
It's a well-drilled hour of comedy, and kudos to the actors for commiting to an in-character, in-the-dark curtain call.
