How the Other Half Loves is Alan Ayckbourn’s domestic farce about three couples, two homes and the chaos that follows when Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are each accused of having an affair by their spouses. To cover themselves, they use the innocent and unsuspecting Featherstones as an alibi, pulling them into a web of confusion and lies.
As the lives of the three couples intertwine, the misunderstandings deepen and mayhem ensues. The play is a raucous take on sex, class and marital misunderstanding, and the work that cemented Ayckbourn as one of Britain’s greatest modern playwrights.
This production returns Ayckbourn’s classic to the In The Round staging it was written for. It is directed by Phillip Breen.
