GIFFNOCK THEATRE PLAYERS – TABLE MANNERS
MONDAY 26TH – WEDNESDAY 28TH MAY, 7.30PM
ABOUT THE PLAY
Table Manners is part of a trilogy under the general heading The Norman Conquests, the other two plays being Round And Round The Garden and Living Together. The plays are not consecutive, but all occur during a single week-end and each takes place in a different part of the same house. Table Manners is generally regarded as the funniest of the three plays.
THE STORY
Annie’s brother-in-law, Norman, frustrated by a wife with “no love or feeling” for him, has persuaded Annie to go away with him secretly for a week-end. Their plans are ruined by the arrival of Annie’s brother, Reg, and his prudish wife, Sarah, who, when she finds out about the “dirty week-end,” calls Norman’s wife, Ruth, to come and put a stop to her husband’s philandering. The situation is made even more complicated and hilarious by the presence of Annie’s slow-witted friend and suitor, Tom. The play not only demonstrates Mr Ayckbourn’s comic ability, but his clever observation of human folly as well.
REVIEWS
“A play which began life as a farcical comedy of manners and misunderstandings is perhaps – unintentionally? – more thought-provoking than ever”
STAGE TALK MAGAZINE
“Every line rings true and which keeps the chuckles rolling from beginning to end.”
