Bedroom Farce (Part 2)
Award-winning comedy. Radio premiere. Director: Martin Jarvis. Star cast. Trevor and Susannah continue to wreak havoc in three separate bedrooms over one night. Complications!
Alan Ayckbourn’s award-winning comedy classic, continues with a stellar cast directed by Martin Jarvis. Written and set in 1975. Before mobile phones. Devastatingly funny - marriage, partnerships, differences.
In Ernest and Delia’s bedroom, ‘neurotic’ Susannah seeks late-night advice.
In Nick and Jan’s bedroom, Trevor confesses all to Nick, who’s immobile from a bad back.
Desperate phone calls. Next morning Susannah locates Trevor. At Jan's. Oh dear.
Malcolm and Kate’s bedroom. Trevor returns to them to apologise. Is he in danger of destroying Malcolm’s surprise gift to Kate? Could the entire thing drop to pieces? Can things be rebuilt? In bedrooms? Or beyond?
