How The Other Half Loves

About How the Other Half Loves

How the Other Half Loves is a play about three couples, two homes and a chain of lies that quickly turns into confusion. When Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are each accused of having an affair by their spouses, they use the innocent Featherstones as an alibi, pulling all three couples into the same web of deceit.

Written by Alan Ayckbourn, the play helped cement his reputation as one of Britain’s leading modern playwrights. This production is directed by Phillip Breen and stars Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson, returning Ayckbourn’s classic to the In The Round staging it was written for.

Key facts: A domestic farce about sex, class and marital misunderstanding, with Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson in the cast and Phillip Breen directing.
