"What is remarkable about Alan Ayckbourn"s comedy is that it contrives to be simultaneously hilarious and harrowing. Literally, it is agonisingly funny" - "Daily Telegraph". In "Three Plays" Ayckbourn"s perfectly pitched dialogue slices into the soul of suburbia. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - but the relationships between the husbands and wives are more complicated. Fraught relationships are exposed with humour, bathos and a sharp understanding of human nature.
