Description

"Ayckbourn's series of five interlinked one-act plays typifies his interactive comedies of human behaviour. The plays are alternately naturalistic, stylised and farcical, but underlying each is the problem of loneliness. Whether the comedy concerns marital conflict, infidelity, or motherhood; is set on a park bench, or at a village fete, the characters are immediately familiar and their cries for help instantly recognisable."--BOOK JACKET.
