Absurd Person Singular

ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR by Alan Ayckbourn

A scathing satire of social climbing and suburban snobbery…

 

 

Absurd Person Singular

Join us for a whirlwind of Christmas Eves in Alan Ayckbourn’s Absurd Person Singular. Peek into three kitchens, where three couples, each with their own quirks, navigate the holiday season’s highs and lows:

‘Last’ Christmas, the Hopcrofts’ ambitions soar as high as their Christmas tree, with a party that’s equal parts merry and manipulative. ‘This’ Christmas, at the Jacksons’, a fraying marriage and a boisterous dog set the stage for holiday pandemonium. ‘Next’ Christmas, the Brewster-Wrights’ stately home becomes the backdrop for a festive fiasco, courtesy of the uninvited Hopcrofts.

Ayckbourn weaves comedy and calamity with a touch of the unexpected, ensuring a night of theatre that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

Don’t miss out on a holiday spectacle where the absurd is the norm, and the laughter is as abundant as the Christmas spirit.
