WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Written and directed by Sir Alan Ayckbourn, Intimate Exchanges is an extraordinary theatrical event. One character's dilemma--to smoke or not smoke--kicks off eight separate plays with 16 different endings.

Intimate Exchanges follows the fortunes of headmaster Toby Teasdale and his long-suffering wife Celia, whose marriage is going through a bit of a sticky patch to say the least.

Will it all end happily ever after? Well, it all depends on which ending you want to see!

Intimate Exchanges is presented as part of the 2007 Brits Off Broadway festival.

But while Utopia boasted a cast of 44 and a set script, Exchanges, co-directed by Ayckbourn and Tim Luscombe, has only an enormously talented cast of two actors (Bill Champion and Claudia Elmhirst), who not only have to portray all of the characters; they also have to keep all of the various combinations of plays straigh[...]
