Once again Frayn is at his best! Along with "Noises Off", "Alarms and Excursions" had me crying from laughter over the lack of communication among the characters, their tragi-comic situations and parallel action! A must read, must see play!!!

Alarms and Excursions
3 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
These eight plays examine the difficulties modern technology has added to life - with, for the audience at least, hilarious results. In Alarms, two couples embark on a dinner party which is doomed to failure as, one by one, labour-saving devices and even furniture become hostile. Doubles sees two couples having similar problems in adjacent hotel rooms. In Leavings, the dinner-party is amusingly revisited. In Look Away Now, passengers ignore their airliner's safety lecture. Heart to Heart deals with the impossibility of communication at a noise drinks party. Glassnost presents us with a political speech sabotages by a harassed autocue operator. Toasters shows the problems of trying to eat and work standing up at a function. The last play, Immobiles, is acted out entirely over the phone, as the German guest arriving at the airport, and the hosts meeting him, try desperately to locate each other.
