built 635 days ago
"That resourceful state magician, Alan Ayckbourn, has produced another dazzling display of theatrical alchemy. It is impossible to think of any other British dramatist who could write a science fiction play, complete with robots, high-tech gadgets and banks of winking electronic equipment and transform it into a superbly constructed comedy that ... encompasses moments of desperate human sadness."--Daily Telegraph

Sunday 25 Jan 04 - David Jason and Miriam Margolyes star in this Peter King adaptation of Ayckbourn's drawing-room comedy in which truths are told and the bitterness between characters is ever present. This 60-minute play was directed by Dickon Reed and first broadcast on the World Service in December 1977.

It is not sufficient for Ayckbourn to confine "bedroom farce" to one bedroom - he must have three all on stage at the same time. Not for him one couple in bed - but four married couples in an interrelated masterpiece of comedy.
