About

About How the Other Half Loves

How the Other Half Loves is an Alan Ayckbourn comedy about three couples, two homes and a growing web of lies. When Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are each accused of having an affair by their spouses, they use the innocent Featherstones as an alibi, setting off a chain of domestic chaos and confusion.

The play is a raucous take on sex, class and marital misunderstanding, and is the production that cemented Alan Ayckbourn as one of Britain’s greatest modern playwrights. This staging stars Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson and is directed by Phillip Breen, returning the classic to the In The Round format it was written for.

Key facts: Alan Ayckbourn comedy; starring Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson; directed by Phillip Breen; returns to In The Round staging.
