Peter Hall's production of BEDROOM FARCE, one of Ayckbourn's best loved works, opened to critical acclaim at the Rose Theatre in Kingston last year and now transfers to the West End. It will open on March 24 and play at Duke of York's Theatre. Hall first directed BEDROOM FARCE at the National Theatre in 1977.

Four couples, three bedrooms, two celebrations, one blazing row and an illicit kiss (or two). Alan Ayckbourn's ingenious comedy shines a brilliant spotlight onto the trials and tribulations of suburban marriage.

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.

Bedroom Farce features a well known cast, including Daniel Betts, whose TV credits include "Law & Order UK," "The Bill and Holby City"; Sara Crowe, recently seen in the smash hit CALENDAR GIRLS at the Noel Coward Theatre; Tony Gardner, well known from the award winning ITV series "My Parents Are Aliens" and Jack Dee's hit BBC sitcom "Lead Balloon"; David Horovitch, who rose to fame in Agatha Christie's MISS MARPLE and recently appeared in Ayckbourn's West End comedy hit ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR; Rachel Pickup whose theatre credits include Peter Hall's PRINCESS OF FRANCE and 39 STEPS; Jenny Seagrove, one of the West End's most prolific and respected actresses recently seen alongside David Horovitch in ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR and in the West End premier of A DAUGHTER'S A DAUGHTER and known to millions as barrister Jo Mills in the BBC's flagship drama series "Judge John Deed"; Orlando Seale a regular in BBC medical drama "Casualty"; and Finty Williams, who starred in the multi-award winning BBC period drama "Cranford" and appeared in hit comedy CHILTERN HUNDREDS at the Vaudeville Theatre.
