There’s laughs a-plenty at Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park Theatre this July as Summer Playhouse at The Park’s season of high-quality plays continues with Alan Ayckbourn’s classic Bedroom Farce (3 – 12 Jul).
Produced by acclaimed team phil&ben whose previous productions include; Gaslight, Absent Friends, Dial M for Murder, Table Manners, Travels with my Aunt, Dangerous Obsession and Boeing Boeing; the Summer Playhouse at the Park season continues after Bedroom Farce with the nerve-shredding thriller Murder by Misadventure (17 – 26 Jul).
This new production of Bedroom Farce by Alan Ayckbourn slips behind the curtains of suburbia. Set in three bedrooms during one very long Saturday night and the following morning. Audiences can expect a high-energy comedy with astute observations from the master playwright.
Misunderstanding, miscommunication and misplaced emotions combine in this riotously funny and timeless view of relationships. Tempers fray, expectations are pushed and relationships are tested, all without leaving the duvet.
Ernest and Delia are celebrating their wedding anniversary after many, many, many years of marriage; Malcolm and Kate are gearing up to host a party in their new ‘love nest’; while Nick and Jan are trying to cope with Nick’s recent back injury which has left him stuck in bed while Jan goes to Malcolm and Kate’s party without him. Seem’s straightforward? Don’t be so sure.
Cast includes George Telfer (To Kill a Mockingbird, Gielgud Theatre) as Ernest, Corrinne Wicks (Doctors, BBC) is Delia, the role of Nick will be played by Phil Stewart (The Invisible Man, Devonshire Park), Katy Dean (The Gathering, Channel 4) as Jan, Malcolm is played by Simon Pothecary (The Woman in Black, West End and tour), Lucy-Jane Quinlan (Dangerous Obsession, Devonshire Park) is Kate, with the part of Trevor played by Pete Ashmore (The Provoked Wife, Royal Shakespeare Company) and Louise Beresford as Susannah.
