A CLASSIC FARCE

Written by Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by Paul Lewis

Roland, a hard-drinking tycoon, is considering buying an old Victorian house, once a brothel. His solicitor and the vendor, a builder, arrive to complete the deal. Also in the house are his wife, a frustrated dancer who is always considering leaving him, her brother and later the brother’s fiancée, who is uncertain whether or not to run away.

In the course of one hectic night and morning, with continual running up and downstairs and in and out of rooms, these characters, each immersed in a personal problem, try to sort themselves out.
