Southwold Summer Theatre ~ Things We Do For Love, by Alan Ayckbourn

Comic, cruel, classic by Ayckbourn at his mid-period best, centring on the love triangle between two women and one man - although the unrequited, obsessive affection of the downstairs lodger possibly makes it a love square! In a play that includes passion, comedy, and some violence, Ayckbourn handles a potentially tragic theme in a black romantic comedy that will jar both your funny bone and your heart.
“This memorably bruising comedy is a Private Lives for the nineties." (The Guardian).
With a unique, new set design personally approved by the author.

Running time approximately 2hrs with interval.

Evenings Wednesday to Saturday 7:30pm and Matinees 4pm on Thursdays and Saturdays.
