Role Play – June 2011

Written by: Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by: Peter Kelly
Assisted by: Linda Hayman

Dates: June 2nd – 4th & 7th – 11th 2011

“Role Play finds Justin and Julie-Ann, both in computers and hopelessly mis-matched in love, about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner – Justin’s upper crust alcoholic mother from Surrey and Julie-Ann’s bigoted Yorkshire father and prim mother. Into this doomed Scenario drops, literally, via the balcony upstairs and the river, Paige Petite, a former lap-dancer with suicidal tendencies and her thick, gun-toting minder who is employed by her violent boyfriend. They proceed to wreak havoc on the meticulously planned evening but the brilliantly orchestrated mayhem is tempered by subtle insights into family relationships and class distinctions”

Another Ayckbourne masterpiece. Beautifully crafted characters, cringe-worthy situations, observational comedy at its best. Come along and be entertained as a dinner party goes disastrously wrong.
