News Story
Three couples. Two dining rooms. One big mess.
From Thu 9 Feb – Sat 4 Mar 2023, we produced Alan Ayckbourn’s chaotic comedy, How the Other Half Loves. Which saw the lives of three couples frantically intertwine in this classic Ayckbourn comedy of confusion and chaos. Set in the 1970s this follow up to Relatively Speaking, which was seen at Salisbury Playhouse in 2019.
