Redlands Footlighters Theatre Schedule
56th Season - 2001-2002

We present a double bill!

The Real Inspector Hound: Two snotty theatre critics watch a creaky old murder mystery and prepare to nail this show to the wall. Until, suddenly... the show turns the table and nails them. You never know what to expect in this fast-paced satire, or who to expect it from. Agatha Christie and your telephone will never look quite so innocent again. "Inventive and ingenous." - London Evening Standard "That Teresa Dolan is some director!" - David Manning, The Ridgefield Press

Black Comedy: The mirth in this long one-act hinges on a highly theatrical concept: characters supposedly in the dark are brilliantly illuminated on stage; when the lights are supposed to be on, the actors are in the dark. An unscrupulous sculptor has embellished his apartment with furniture and objets d'art "borrowed" from the absent antique dealer next door. Brindsley hopes to impress his debutante fiancee's pompous father while showing his work to a wealthy art buyer. The campy neighbor returns just as a blown fuse plunges the apartment into darkness and Brindsley is revealed teetering on the verge of very ripe farce. Seated guests, unexpected visitors, lurking phone cords and other snares in the dark impede his frantic attempts to return the purloined items before light is restored.
