How the Other Half Loves

Alan Ayckbourn’s farce mixes three couples whose men all work for the same firm. In How the Other Half Loves, the youngest man is having an affair with the wife of the oldest, and when each returns home early one morning, they invent a story about having to spend some time smoothing over the domestic crisis of a third couple. To complicate matters…the third couple shows up! Hanky-panky with the boss’s wife and tangled webs of deception build to a wickedly funny climax by England’s most admired comic playwright.
