Mixed Doubles - 2006

by James Saunders/Fay Weldon/Lyndon Brook/Alan Aykbourne/Alan Owen/David Campion
29th June to 1st July 2006

Synopsis

An Entertainment on Marriage consists of a series of eight short plays or revue sketches, each with two characters, composed by various English playwrights.

The eight dramatic sketches, each portraying marriage at a different stage of life, are linked together by a series of anti-authoritarian monologues written by George Melly. Taken together, the programme presents an acidly humorous image of marriage from the moment of blessing until the silver wedding anniversary. In the course of the programme, a large number of people appear on stage in various professional capacities. The characters in Mixed Doubles appear to be plagued by everyday trivialities, their pasts, their jobs, and their marital problems.
