Three couples, two dinner parties and a kaleidoscope of misunderstandings from the master of situation comedy, Alan Ayckbourn. It's breakfast time: Bob was out last night. Teresa is suspicious. Fiona forgot her wedding anniversary last night. Frank's disappointed. Bob and Frank work together but if Bob and Fiona are playing together, mayhem and confusion are just around the corner. Enter the Detweilers, whose hapless alibis, half-truths and deceits make things even more hysterical. Dazzling theatrical invention and glorious comic observations mark this as one of Ayckbourn's early triumphs.
