Absurd Person Singular

by

Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by: Barbara Ritchie

14,16-21 Apr 2001

Set over three successive Christmas Eves, a lowly shopkeeper and his cowed, subservient wife gradually grow in power and confidence until by the end they have the middle-class characters who once patronised them literally dancing to their tune.

Its themes include alcoholism, suicidal depression and brutal business tactics that seem to anticipate the greed-is-good Eighties.
