Two couples are caught in a merry-go-round of secrets, lies, and mistaken identities, which is bound to end badly for someone. Getting rid of an old boyfriend should be simple, but lying to the new one has unforeseen consequences.
The play opens with the discovery of a pair of slippers under a bed, that turn out to have a story all of their own. Relatively Speaking is classic Ayckbourn – the first of his over forty West End hits spanning five decades. With “laughter is the best medicine” in mind, Tadpole has assembled a talented cast to entertain you – Benjamin Murray and Michelle Blundell play a young couple, Greg and Ginny, with Edwin Wright and Louise Wallace as their older foils, Philip and Sheila.
