Birthdays Past, Birthdays Present

By Alan Ayckbourn


As ingenious in its construction as any of his previous plays, this is the 83rd play from the pen of one of Britain's greatest playwrights. It's Micky's 80th birthday and he and his wife Meg are awaiting the arrival of their son, Adrian, and his new (and latest!) fiancee, Grace. Adrian has, according to his parents, a certain reputation regarding women and they feel meek, mild mannered Grace should surely be warned of this. But are things really as they appear? As birthday follows birthday, prepare to be amazed as the truth is finally revealed about Adrian, the suburban closet Lothario. Beginning in the present day, it travels back in time, to the birthdays of the different family members, as more and more secrets are revealed.
