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. What with suicidal friends, busybody neighbours, sexy school caretakers, pushy fathers and mad mothers-in-law to add to their troubles, will they ever be able to sort things out? 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.

Alan Ayckbourn makes Tom Stoppard look like a slacker. Although the latter's Tony Award-winning The Coast of Utopia clocked in at about nine hours over three installments, Ayckbourn's 1982 opus Intimate Exchanges -- currently receiving a terrific production at 59E59 as part of the Brits Off Broadway Festival -- is comprised of more than 32 hours spread out over 16 plays.
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[...]
