How The Other Half Loves

Meet three married couples. The Fosters, Frank and Fiona. The Phillips, Bob and Teresa. And the Featherstones, William and Mary… Frank employs Bob and William. Fiona is having an affair with Bob. Teresa is suspicious of Bob, who covers up his own adultery by shoving the blame onto his colleague William. William suspects Mary is having an affair. Fiona, to ward off Frank’s questioning, tells him that she has been comforting Mary, who also suspects William is having an affair… Got that?

But of course, William and Mary are the innocent parties tangled in Fiona and Bob’s web of deceit. So when the Fosters and the Phillips are to entertain the Featherstones on successive nights, you can only imagine what complications, revelations and big laughs will ensue…

And what’s more, in a delicious twist, the action is carried out in the separate homes, simultaneously, on the same set, even to the extent of different dinner parties on the same table!

Alan Ayckbourn is one of Britain’s most celebrated playwrights, and this is one of his most clever, funny, and entertaining plays. A hilarious night!!
