Three couples meet on three successive Christmases in their respective kitchens, but all is not what it seems and there’s a sting in the tail. Their changing fortunes and the strains of the festive season combined with Alan Aykbourn’s wicked wit and dark observation result in one of his funniest plays to appear on the Torch Theatre stage this February.
An amateur performance by arrangement with Concord Theatricals UK, Absurd Person Singular is presented by Artistic Licence and will be full of belly-laughs where we witness the characters’ climbs and falls within society. The hilarious comedy of rollercoaster emotions and the changing fortunes of three married couples, highlights life in the 1970’s – focusing on social class, friendship, marriage and the life of the ordinary person.
Written in 1972 by the well-known British Playwright, the comedy play with dark undertones, is divided into three acts. It was so popular as a theatre show that it was made into a tv play in 1985 and still has appeal today.
The cracker of a show - Absurd Person Singular presented by Artistic Licence will be live onthe Torch Theatre stage on 5, 6 and 7 February at 7.30pm and 8 February at 2.30pm. Ticket prices: £17. Concession: £15. For tickets phone the Box Office on 01646 695267 or visit torchtheatre.co.uk.
