How The Other Half Loves

About How the Other Half Loves

How the Other Half Loves is a domestic farce about three couples and two homes, as Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are accused of having an affair by their spouses. To cover for themselves, they draw the innocent Featherstones into a tangle of alibis, lies and confusion.

Alan Ayckbourn’s play turns marital misunderstanding, sex and class into a fast-moving comedy. It is the work that cemented him as one of Britain’s greatest modern playwrights.

This production stars Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson, is directed by Phillip Breen, and returns the play to the In The Round staging it was written for.

Key facts: A raucous Ayckbourn comedy about three couples and two homes, staged In The Round, and starring Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson.
