Absurd Person Singular
ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR by Alan Ayckbourn
A scathing satire of social climbing and suburban snobbery
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.
