“Absent Friends “ by Alan Ayckbourn
directed by Bruce Marsland
Alan Ayckbourn is one of Britain's most popular and prolific contemporary
playwrights. His works, often labelled simply as comedies, tread the
razor's edge that divides humour and tragedy. Ordinary people face life's
difficulties across the battlefield of everyday domestic situations. In
"Absent
Friends", teatime brings together a man whose fiancée has recently
drowned, a failing businessman whose wife has just slept with his best customer, and two women facing mid-life crises in very different ways.
Written in the 1970s, the topics remain modern, the humour remains cutting,
and the language remains as fresh and sharp as ever.
