Product Description
Funny, gripping and wrenchingly truthful, these three blackly comic plays slice into the soul of suburbia. Couples - often mismatched, sometimes disorientated - dominate the action. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - all familiar terrains where husbands and wives meet, bewildered, puzzled and angry. 'In the hilarious delineation of marital pain there is no one to touch Alan Ayckbourn' - Eric Shorter in the "Daily Telegraph".

Lori P (USA: NY) (2008/04/27):
The three plays are: ‘Bedroom Farce,’ ‘Absurd Person Singular,’ and ‘Absent Friends’.From the book cover: "Ayckbourn is witty because he can miraculously transmute the ordinary base metal of our naturalistic speech… His principal texts have a sustained comic (and sometimes wry) truth which matches the constructional craft… Clearly this dramatist is for the present and for the future."
