An Amateur Performance by Southampton University Players

How The Other Half Loves

Buy

by Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Bridget Wilkinson

Dates

1 – 5 March

Three couples, two houses and one furtive affair share the stage in Sir Alan Ayckbourn's dazzlingly funny comedy classic. This action-packed production juggles time and space to present the lives, loves, passions and panic of three couples in a play packed with laughter and mayhem. Ayckbourn's brilliantly crafted staging gives us comic goings-on, misunderstandings and twists with time, which will have you reaching for the tissues as tears of laughter stream down your face!  

Famous for the hysterical dinner party scene, which ‘must rank as one of the classic comedy scenes of not just British but World theatre’ (The Observer, June 2009), How the Other Half Loves presents delights and absurd situations that can only best be achieved in live theatre.

Audiences who enjoy witty comedy with hilarious chaos – with just a hint of Desperate Housewives and an echo of The Good Life - will adore How the Other Half Loves.

Early Booking recommended!

Proceeds of all programme sales for this production will be donated to Naomi House Hospice.
