«'What is remarkable about Alan Ayckbourn's comedy is that it contrives to be simultaneously hilarious and harrowing. Literally, it is agonisingly funny' — «Daily Telegraph». In «Three Plays» Ayckbourn's perfectly pitched dialogue slices into the soul of suburbia. The settings are simple — a kitchen, a bedroom, a party — but the relationships between the husbands and wives are more complicated. Fraught relationships are exposed with humour, bathos and a sharp understanding of human nature.»
