Directed by Peter Sullivan, Black Comedy takes place in one hilarious act. The hilarious story of two young fiancés, hijinks and mishaps ensue in this riotous 1965 English farce filled with fumbling physical comedy and delightful slapstick comedy. The International Herald Tribune called it “pure hilarity” and the New York Daily News said it was "a dazzling comic ballet." Now in its 9th season, Piccolo Theatre's performance of “Black Comedy” is sure to be a stellar success!
