Relatively Speaking

A Farce
by: Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by: Gil Savage
Produced by: Joel and Sherrie Colbourn

Greg met Ginny only a month ago but wants to marry her. Ginny must first visit her married former lover to end their affair –and secure some compromising letters.

So Ginny plans a visit to her “parents”, and Greg decides to follow her to meet his prospective in-laws. When Greg arrives at Philip and Sheila’s house ahead of Ginny and meets her “parents”, their conversation leaves everyone none the wiser about their true identities.

But confusion reigns when Ginny arrives. As the story develops, Ginny is desperately afraid that Sheila is aware of her affair with Philip. Philip believes Greg really wants to run off with his wife; and Greg is baffled by Ginny’s seemingly twisted and bizarre parents.

Mistaken identity, infidelity and a pair of slippers make for a hysterically funny play about how a little lying can cause a lot of trouble.
