Synopsis: Colin's friends are determined to comfort him in his grief over the death of his fiancée - a girl they have never met. They arrange a tea-party for him and are understandably on edge wondering what to say to him as they await his arrival.

| Parts Other: | - | |||
Notes: Between Mouthfuls; Drinking Companion; A Talk In The Park; Gosforth's Fete; Mother Figure. Methuen Drama, London >>> | ||||
Synopsis: Ayckbourn's series of plays for 4-5 actors typify his black comedies of human behaviour. The plays are alternately naturalistic, stylised and farcical, but underlying each is the problem of loneliness. The Mother Figure shows a mother unable to escape from baby talk; in The Drinking Companion an absentee husband attempts seduction without success; in Between Mouthfuls, a waiter oversees a fraught dinner encounter. A garden party gets out of hand in Gosforth's Fete whilst A Talk in the Park is a revue style curtain call piece for the five actors. Whether the comedies concern marital conflict, infidelity or motherhood and take place on a park bench or at a village fete, the characters are familiar and their cries for help instantly recognisable. | ||||

Synopsis: Mixed Doubles, 'an entertainment on marriage,' takes the form of eight short plays, each for two characters. . . Each is an independent play in its own right but the whole sequence, linked by a series of wickedly anti-authoritarian monologues written by George Melly adds up to an amusing if acid picture of the progress of married life from honeymoon to cemetry | ||||
