While the Lights Were Out is a delightful evening of mayhem and murder. A breathtaking comedy, full of laughter, surprises, and enough suspense to keep your audience on their toes. Lord Clive and Lady Monica Wickenham are hosting a dinner party that turns sour. A thunderstorm! The lights go out! An agonized voice! A pistol shot! The lights come up! The detective examines the body and announces, "He's been strangled!" The question on everyone's mind: What happened while the lights were out? Every clue is a lulu and the plot twists furiously.
