Alan Ayckbourn:more details and links
A prolific master of farce and social comedy who has written over 80 plays, often exploring the dark complexities of marriage and middle-class suburban life.
Based primarily at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, Ayckbourn is famous for his technical ingenuity—such as plays that can be watched in different orders or on multiple stages simultaneously. Despite their comedic surface, his plays often touch on domestic misery and emotional neglect. He has won numerous Olivier and Tony awards and was knighted in 1997. He is one of the most performed living playwrights in the world, with his work translated into over 35 languages and staged continuously across the globe.
