TABLE MANNERS

SEASON: 9th August - 3rd September 2023

Written by: Alan Ayckbourn
By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical On Behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company

Directed by: Gavin Critchley

Annie has arranged to spend an illicit weekend away with her sister Ruth’s husband Norman.  Her brother Reg and his wife Sarah have been asked to look after their invalid mother and the house without being aware of the real circumstances.  What ensues is a dysfunctional family gathering filled with confusion, conclusion-jumping and mayhem!  And very little food!!

This entertaining romp will have you in stitches. Not all (illicit) plans are best laid!

Our theatre is air-conditioned. We aim to address the comfort levels of our audience seated in all parts of the theatre, as well as our cast on stage and technical operators up in the Lights and Sound Box. If you do feel you might require a jacket or wrap, please bring one with you.

Running time is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)

The rest of the season is now SOLD OUT.

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew!
