Louche Theatre's April 2012 production will be Alan Ayckbourn's classic comedy...............
HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES
Directed by Harry Durnall & Julie McNicholls
" ..this play will keep you laughing for two gloriously entertaining hours"
The Gardian
"...it must rank as one of the classic comedies of all time"
The British Theatre Guide
How the Other Half Loves’ is an ingenious, funny and brilliantly crafted masterpiece which juggles time and space to present the lives, loves, passion and panic of three married couples in a play of love and laughter, meals and mayhem. Like all Ayckbourn comedies it is about the precise interaction of sex and class in modern society.
Bob Phillip’s liason with his boss’ wife is in danger of being discovered by their respective spouses. Each one attempts to wriggle out of suspicion by projecting their own infidelity on to a third, totally innocent, uninteresting and unsuspecting couple - the Featherstones. The ensuing action leads to a string of misunderstandings and almost farcical events with hilarious consequences!
Louche Theatre will present four performances of ‘How the Other Half Loves’ at the Morlan Centre, Queens Road, Aberystwyth from Thursday 12th April until Sunday 15th April 2012. Doors open 7.00pm. Performance commences 7.30pm
