Relatively Speaking by Alan Ayckbourn at Wyndham’s Theatre
You can see why Noel Coward, towards the end of his working life, sent a telegram of praise to a young playwright at the beginning of his. The Master had just seen the 1967 Duke of York’s production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Relatively Speaking, starring Celia Johnson, Michael Hordern, Richard Briers and Jennifer Hilary, and he had found it “a beautifully constructed and very very funny comedy.” Coward must also have noted the same knack of observing the symptoms of a … more »

As the audience, we are almost on top of this cast of five exceptionally gifted actors. Yet the illusion of extraordinary elevation from the ground and total detachment from reality is maintained.
