Funny, gripping and wrenchingly truthful, these three blackly comic plays slice into the soul of suburbia. Couples - often mismatched, sometimes disorientated - dominate the action. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - all familiar terrains where husbands and wives meet, bewildered, puzzled and angry. 'In the hilarious delineation of marital pain there is no one to touch Alan Ayckbourn' - Eric Shorter in the "Daily Telegraph".

Book Description:
Painfully funny plays set in 1970s suburbia from one of the UK's leading playwrights.
From the Back Cover:
'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 darkly comic, perfectly pitched dialogue slices into the soul of suburbia. The settings are simple - a kitchen, a bedroom, a party - where couples meet, bewildered, puzzled and angry.The fraught relationships between men and women are exposed with humour, bathos and a sharp understanding of human nature.

'When it comes to surprises, Ayckbourn never disappoints' Observer
