Overview
'What is remarkable about Alan Ayckbourn's comedy is that it contrives to be simultaneously hilarious and harrowing. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - but the relationships between the husbands and wives are more complicated.
''What is remarkable about Alan Ayckbourn''s comedy is that it contrives to be simultaneously hilarious and harrowing. Literally, it is agonisingly funny''
Daily Telegraph
In Three Plays Ayckbourn''s perfectly pitched dialogue slices into the soul of suburbia. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - but the relationships between the husbands and wives are more complicated. Fraught relationships are exposed with humour, bathos and a sharp understanding of human nature.
