‘I haven’t got any problems.’‘Never mind, we’ll soon invent some.’Three couples, two homes, one laugh-out-loud domestic farce.When Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are each accused of having an affair by their spouses, they use the innocent and unsuspecting Featherstones as an alibi, dragging them into a web of chaos and confusion.

As the lives of the three couples intertwine, the lies deepen and mayhem ensues in one of theatre’s most entertaining comedies.The play that cemented Alan Ayckbourn as one of Britain’s greatest modern playwrights, How theOther Half Loves is a raucous take on sex, class and marital misunderstanding.This production, starring Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson and directed by Phillip Breen, returns Ayckbourn’s classic to the In The Round staging it was written for.CAPTIONED: Friday, 11th September, 7:30pmAUDIO DESCRIBED: Monday, 14th September, 7:30pmBSL INTERPRETED: Wednesday, 9th September, 7:30pmRELAXED (ALSO AUDIO DESCRIBED, CAPTIONED AND BSL INTERPRETED): Saturday, 12th September, 2:30pm
