BEDROOM FARCE

BY ALAN AYCKBOURN

DIRECTED BY ROBIN HERFORD

S tep into a hilarious and chaotic world of misunderstandings, mishaps, and marital mayhem with Alan Ayckbourn's uproarious play, BEDROOM FARCE . Over one night we follow the comically entangled lives of four couples as they navigate an evening of bedroom hopping, heart-to-hearts, and tangled relationships. Ernest and Delia, a middle-aged couple, are trying to celebrate their wedding anniversary in peace. Malcolm and Kate are dealing with a strained marriage and a malfunctioning bed. Newly engaged Jan and Nick find themselves in the middle of the chaos as they try to navigate the challenges of commitment. Troubled pair Trevor and Susannah are at the center of the chaos as they meet the other couples, creating havoc wherever they go, leading to a side-splitting cascade of comic events that will keep you laughing from start to finish. Filled with witty dialogue, cleverly constructed situations, and Ayckbourn's signature blend of charm and chaos, BEDROOM FARCE is a roller-coaster ride of laughter, love, and lunacy. Brace yourself for an evening of riotous entertainment that will leave you thoroughly entertained We are delighted to be welcoming back director ROBIN HERFORD who most recently helmed HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES and BAREFOOT IN THE PARK at The Mill.

“As funny as anything Ayckbourn has ever

written” London Times

"An enormously funny evening." London Observer

"With deft skill Ayckbourn shows marriage as an institution sustained more by ingrained habit than mutual excitment." The Guardian
