Previously Posted: This week, Peter Hall’s production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Bedroom Farce transfers to the West End, where it runs for a strictly limited season – from March 24 to July 10, 2010 – at the Duke of York’s Theatre.
Trevor and Susannah have a problem relationship which requires urgent attention. What better solution than to talk it over with family and friends? Preferably in their respective bedrooms and ideally in the middle of the night. Inevitably, one problem relationship tends to spark off another.
When you have friends like Trevor and Susannah, nobody gets much sleep.
With four couples, three bedrooms, two celebrations, one blazing row and an illicit kiss (or two), Ayckbourn’s comedy highlights the trials and tribulations of suburban marriage.
The cast includes Daniel Betts (Silent Witness, The Bill); Sara Crowe (Calendar Girls, West End); Tony Gardner (My Parents Are Aliens, Lead Balloon); David Horovitch (Miss Marple, The Young Victoria); Rachel Pickup (Midsomer Murders, Doctors); Jenny Seagrove (Judge John Deed‘s Jo Mills); Orlando Seale (Casualty, Fred Claus, The IT Crowd) and Finty Williams (Cranford, Gosford Park).
Bedroom Farce opened to critical acclaim at the Rose Theatre in Kingston last year.
