Sex, Politics and Alan Ayckbourn
I've spent my life trying to say theatre's got to be fun. It can also say a lot of quite decent things about humanity and life and God ... but it also ought to be tremendously entertaining.
Alan Ayckbourn 's latest play, Man of the Moment, opens tomorrow night in London. Michael Billington, drama critic of The Guardian, explores the life and work of the celebrated dramatist and director in Scarborough and London and, in a rare interview, seeks an answer to the question: is Ayckbourn simply a 'right-wing boulevardier' or 'the Moliere of the middle classes'? Produced and directed by DEREK BAILEY
