David Bamber, Jane Horrocks, David Horovitch, Jenny Seagrove, John Gordon Sinclair, and Lia Williams star in a new production of Alan Ayckbourn's 1972 comedy Absurd Person Singular. Alan Strachan directs.

The play visits three couples in their three kitchens on the Christmas Eves of three successive years: the lower-class Hopcrofts; their bank manager and his wife; and their architect neighbor with a suicidal wife. The Hopcrofts' advance and the other couples' decline are played out against a series of behind-the-scenes Christmas party disasters.
