In this wild comic farce by renowned British playwright Sir Peter Shaffer (Amadeus), a desperate sculptor hopes to impress his fiancee's father and a millionaire patron by "borrowing" a few antiques from his absent neighbor. But his best laid plans go up in smoke after a fuse blows in his apartment, plunging them all into darkness just as the neighbor arrives home. What follows is a hilarious race against time to set things right before the lights come back on. No Rules begins its new residency at Signature Theatre with this production, after winning the Helen Hayes Award for Best Emerging Theater Company in 2011.
