Saturday-Night Theatre: Absurd Person Singular

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

West End Winners
Alan Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular with Judy Parfitt, Stephen Murray and Christopher Godwin
Three couples meet on three separate Christmas Eves in their respective kitchens. The result is one of Ayckbourn's funniest plays. There is, however, a sting in the tail.
A classic comedy, the play reveals not only Ayckbourn's wit but also the wicked observations behind his humour.
Adapted, produced and directed by Kay Patrick
(Repeated: Monday 3.5 pm)
