About the Author
Alan Ayckbourn was born in London in 1939 to a violinist father and a mother who was a writer. He left school at seventeen with two 'A' levels and went straight into the theatre. Two years in regional theatre as an actor and stage manager led in 1959 to the writing of his first play, The Square Cat, for Scarborough's Theatre in the Round at the instigation of his then employer and subsequent mentor, Stephen Joseph. Some 75 plays later, his work has been translated into over 35 languages, is performed on stage and television throughout the world and has won countless awards. There have been English and French screen adaptations, the most notable being Alain Resnais' fine film of Private Fears in Public Places. Major successes include Relatively Speaking, How the Other Half Loves, Absurd Person Singular, Bedroom Farce, A Chorus of Disapproval, The Norman Conquests, A Small Family Business, Henceforward . . ., Comic Potential, Things We Do For Love, and, most recently, Life of Riley. In 2009, he retired as Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, where almost all his plays have been and continue to be first staged, after 37 years in the post. He received the 2010 Critics' Circle Award for Services to the Arts and became the first British play wright to receive both Olivier and Tony Special Lifetime Achievement Awards. He was knighted in 1997 for services to the theatre.

having watched this on tv many years ago I was disappointed that it isn't available on dvd, but the cd is great and you can picture what is going on without any problem. its very light hearted and funny, easy to imagine it happening in a house near you!!

Not one of Ayckbourn's very best, but very much in his usual vein; the tensions and conflicts of human relationships. Well acted.

I've seen a few stage productions of this play and I have to say that this radio version is spot on. A wonderful cast with excellent pace who get every ounce of meat from the script. Hearing the almost constantly sedate Geoffrey Palmer as a psychopathic uncle is priceless! Well worth curling up on the sofa for a listen to this fabulous production at any time of year.
Listmania!
