About

About How the Other Half Loves

How the Other Half Loves is an Alan Ayckbourn comedy about three couples, two homes and a tangle of misunderstandings. When Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are each accused of having an affair by their spouses, they use the unsuspecting Featherstones as an alibi, drawing them into the confusion.

As the three couples’ lives become increasingly intertwined, the lies deepen and the situation turns into a domestic farce about sex, class and marital misunderstanding.

This production is directed by Phillip Breen and returns the play to the In The Round staging it was written for.
