Communicating Doors by Alan Ayckbourn
At
the March meeting, Christine Vale put her hand up to direct the August
production! The play was Communicating Doors by Alan
Ayckbourn.
Christine has had a wealth of experience acting, but this will be her
directorial debut. Christine told us that she had directed children
before, in school productions, but never adults. We assured her that the
children would have been better behaved. Seriously, though, we welcome
Christine to the job, and know she will be more than up to the task of
presenting a fine show.
The play's setting is in the same hotel room. However the dates of the plot are not
only the present day, but also twenty years into the past, and twenty years into
the future. It's an intriguing story of a sinister murderer, who profits from
his crime. When one of his victims discovers an unusual feature of her
hotel room communicating door she uses it to jump from one era to another, but
not with complete success. Nevertheless, she tries to use her newly found
ability for the forces of good and to attempt to overcome the murderer.
The play could be described as a black comedy-thriller, and will satisfy fans
of both comedy and serious drama. It is an excellent example of Ayckbourn's
work. See the menu item to the left or click
