Synopsis:This about how we see people and who they really are and about hope and positive outcomes when all things seem to be potentially against you. A parody of 21st century culture and living with the constant cloud of social media, dating Apps, the changing landscape and of course people around us that perhaps prefer things as they used to be. There are undertones of reflection on relationships and growing old (dis) gracefully
Character:
Maisie: Slightly mousy, introverted and downtrodden, playing age mid 40’s, been unlucky in love (she now rebuffs men on internet dating sites!)and has moved back in with her well off cantankerous mother. Let down by a series of men she speaks about the behaviour of European domesticated felines at conferences, drinks white wine , coffee and espresso martinis!
Andy: Playing age early 40’s, confident, slightly flamboyant, natty dresser, knows a small amount about most things but specialises in virtually nothing )other than failed relationships)His confidence hides an inner turmoil of self loathing, depression,, vulnerability, and a deep desire to find “the one”
Mum (Beryl): No nonsense well heeled londoner, done most things in life and wants people to leave her alone.She is not happy her daughter has moved in. She hates most things modern, Tik Tok, X, the French and EV’s
Ray the Coach: Gruff, to the point and fed up of driving coaches. He relieves the boredom by drinking too much and trying to find suitable females to for the 24/48 hour stop overs! His attempts with Beryl go very wrong. Does not understand the woke culture and wishes the empire was still in tact
Patrice: Flamboyant, suave good looking french man playing age 20’s/30’s works on eurostar as customer service assistant. Dreams of being in Moulin Rouge!
Jonathon: Playing age late 50’s, camp and plump. Cameo appearance as receptionist at Bruges hotel

A thunderstorm. In a windswept country house a dysfunctional family wrangles over a will: a writer, an artist a composer and a dysfunctional teenager, combined with a detective who has never solved a case. Here are the prime ingredients for a murder mystery, but this diversion is by Alan Ayckbourn and it has a number of surprises. The victim is not who it should be, the murderer’s identity changes overnight and the thrills are leavened with tongue in cheek humor and ironic comment.

Four couples. Three bedrooms. One hilarious night of pure chaos.
Step into the comedic whirlwind of Alan Ayckbourn’s masterpiece, Bedroom Farce, where the only thing messier than the relationships is the bedroom decor.
🎭 The Story
The plot unfolds simultaneously across three distinct bedrooms during one highly eventful Saturday night. We follow four couples whose lives collide when Trevor and Susannah—a pair whose marriage is in a state of spectacular, loud meltdown—crash the parties and bedrooms of their friends and parents. As the dysfunctional duo inflicts their emotional baggage on everyone else, a domino effect of sleeplessness, misunderstandings, and laugh-out-loud frantic energy takes over the night.
Sophisticated, highly energetic, and brilliantly funny. Bedroom Farce is the ultimate night out at the theatre that proves marriage might be complicated, but it is always entertaining.
- Nudity Warning: Despite the title containing the words “Bedroom” and “Farce,” all characters remain stubbornly and disappointingly fully clothed.
