Alan Ayckbourn is, after Shakespeare is Britain s most performed
playwright and acknowledged as one of its most skilful directors.
In 50 years he has written more than seventy plays and directed
three times that number emerging as a formidable dramatist of
international renown. Dismissed at first as a mere boulevadier, he
is now seen as an outstanding modern comic playwright, exploring
themes of social and political importance with a bleak eye and a
capacity to construct comedy out of the experience of the middle
class audience. This book explores the range of his work which
covers light comedy, farce, theatrical cartoon, musicals and plays
for children. It defines the early influences and the developing
themes, concentrating on Ayckbourn s technical skills and his
challenges to Aristotelian unities. It traces the playwright s
journey from observer of middle class dilemmas through moral and
ethical commentator, and on to his concentration on fantasist
behaviour and the nature of long term relationships. The comic eye
which lies at the heart of this work is explored as a product of
both dramatic technique and theatrical experiment.
A TV anchorwoman is invited to come spend time with an old friend,
