BLACK COMEDY
A play by Peter Shaffer
Kerikeri Theatre Company proudly presents Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer, the first production of 2020 Winter Season!
Black comedy is the hilarious story of a lovesick and desperate sculptor, Brindsley Miller. Brindsley has embellished his apartment with furniture and art that is “borrowed” from the absent antique collector next door to impress his fiancée’s pompous father and a wealthy art dealer. But when a fuse blows, hilarity ensues and Brindsley frantically attempts to return the stolen items before light is restored.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How has the recent Covid-19 outbreak impacted scheduled performances?
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, regarding the new community Covid-19 cases and bringing the country to Level 2, we have decided the best course of action to protect our audiences, actors, production crew and team is to reschedule performances of Black Comedy to a later date.
The shows WILL go on! We will await to see what advice Government provides over the coming few days and be in touch with all customers as soon as we can with new dates. Your tickets will still be yours and you can still order tickets for the matinee to insure that you get a seat once the show is rescheduled! Once we have rescheduled, your tickets will roll over into the same day of the week that you originally purchased for. If you purchased a Thursday evening ticket, you will still keep it for a Thursday evening performance. Same for Friday/Saturday and the matinee shows.
UPDATE: We have since rescheduled these performances to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October.
Is the show family friendly?
Black Comedy does not feature gratuitous violence, drug use, nudity or sexuality, however many of the shows do feature adult situations and references to sexuality and alcohol. While children of all ages are welcome, parental guidance is required and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
