Things We Do for Love

Joseph Hardy directs Alan Ayckbourn’s Things We Do for Love at the Old Globe. Fastidious Barbara allows an old school chum and her lover to rent a flat in her lovely Victorian home. Her only other tenant is a highly unusual postman/handyman, who is obsessed with his landlady. This clever script is is a wondrous mix of domestic comedy and sexual tragedy, the two empires for which Ayckbourn has been the master of contemporary playwrights.
