It's a mix volatile enough to blow the roof off the theater.

It's rare that the words "farce" and "Peter Shaffer" are said with the same breath.
After all, Shaffer has written such tense and tragic dramas as "Amadeus" and "Equus."
But then there's his "Black Comedy," which Beowulf Alley Theatre opens Saturday.
That's where "farce" comes in.

And it's just the kind of play director Nancy Arnfield loves to shape.
