'Relatively Speaking' by Alan Ayckbourn
New Era Players look forward to bringing to the stage the brilliant Alan Ayckbourn comedy, ‘Relatively Speaking’. The action takes place in the late 1960s, an age of flower power and progressive ideas, mainly in a sunny garden in Bucks. Here, hilarious misunderstandings lead to mayhem, as nobody quite knows who is who, what they want, or even why they are there. Greg thinks he’s going to marry Ginny, Ginny thinks she’s going to break it off with her older married lover, Philip, Philip thinks Greg wants to marry his own wife, Sheila, and Sheila thinks everyone should probably have some sherry.
Back in 1965, Alan Ayckbourn wrote ‘Relatively Speaking’ in response to a request from a theatre manager in Scarborough, where the drama premiered, for 'a play which would make people laugh when their seaside summer holidays were spoiled by the rain and they came into the theatre to get dry before trudging back to their landladies'.
This amateur production of ‘Relatively Speaking’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
