Confusions

Online booking is now over but tickets are available on the door for Friday and Saturday night’s performances

Confusions, comprised of five short plays for small ensembles, typifies Alan Ayckbourn’s particular brand of black comedy on human behaviour. Underlying each is the echoing problem of profound loneliness; from a devoted and isolated mother, to her unfaithful travelling salesman husband, through a solicitous waiter to well-heeled diners and an utterly shambolic garden fête, human frailty is laid bare as one hilarious situation after another unfolds.

Our fresh, modern take on a classic is directed by Anastasia Osei-Kuffour, who brings the stories to life for a contemporary audience in an innovative use of space on our Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation Theatre stage.
