Pitch Productions takes on one of “the funniest and most brilliant short plays” in its rendition of White Liars and Black Comedy, the hilarious double-billed farce by Peter Shaffer.

White Liars delves into the tangled web of class and truth, where characters' lies become their truth. Meanwhile, Black Comedy is a rollicking farce centered on Carol and Brindsley who decorate their house using their neighbour’s furniture whilst he’s away to impress a millionaire art buyer. When a sudden power cut plunges their home into darkness, their mischief and lies are exposed as their bewildered, chaotic neighbours stumble through the house. The world is turned upside down, including the lighting, which is reversed for the audience the entire play.
