House and Garden by Alan Ayckbourn
20– 24 November, 2012. The Mill Theatre, Dundrum Town Centre.
Wildly comic, Love is the theme in what many critics consider to be Ayckbourn’s best play.
How easy it is to fail one’s partner, how difficult to express love directly, without games of evasion and manipulation. The matter of the play is deeply serious: nothing less than modern morality.
Ayckbourn’s treatment is hilarious, yet his characters carry inside of them, or cause in others, a large measure of sadness and dejection.
