Traverse Theatre Company to Present RIGHT NOW
A fresh modern play with a dark, unsettling heart, Right Now walks a delicate line between comedy and anxiety, teasing and thrilling its audience with an increasing air of psychological suspense. As Alice and Ben settle into their beautiful new flat they realise that the family across the hall hope to be more than just friends. Soon, Juliette, Giles, and their son Francis are wearing out the welcome mat and suggesting drinks, hors d'oeuvres and dancing. Things begin to heat up as innocent invitations lead to passionate encounters and unsettling revelations.
BWW Reviews: WOMAN IN MIND, Birmingham Rep, June 17 2014
Woman In Mind is thought of as one of Alan Ayckbourn's best works. It is the English playwright's 32nd play and his earliest using a first-person narrative. The plot centres around Susan who, having hit herself in the head with a garden rake, is found at the start of the play concussed on her garden lawn. Following this she is surrounded by her idyllic family whom we soon realise are merely a figment of her imagination and her real family situation is far from picturesque! For most of the show's duration it is apparent what is fantasy and what is reality but towards the end of Act Two, the two scenarios begin to overlap and eventually collide in what can only be described as an epic meltdown.
