About the Event

The play is written to be staged under a reversed lighting scheme: the play opens on a darkened stage. A few minutes into the show there is a short circuit, and the stage is illuminated to reveal the characters in a "blackout." On the few occasions when matches, lighters, or torches are lit, the lights grow dimmer. The title of the play is a pun.


Brig, a young sculptor, and his debutante fiancée neha have borrowed some expensive, antique furniture from his neighbour Harish's flat without his permission in order to impress an elderly millionaire art collector coming to view Brig's work, and Neha's father Colonel Malhotra. When the power fails, Harish returns early, and Brig's ex-mistress shalu shows up unexpectedly, things slide into disaster for him.
