  • Plays and Pinot: Bedroom Farce
    Plays and Pinot: Bedroom Farce Synopsis Trevor and Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest: three couples whose own relationships are tenuous at best. Taking place sequentially in the three beleaguered couples’ bedrooms during one endless Saturday night of co-dependence and dysfunction, beds, tempers, and domestic order are ruffled, leading all the players to a hilariously touching epiphany. About the Playwright Alan Ayckbourn, in full Sir Alan Ayckbourn, (born April 12, 1939, London, England), is a successful and prolific British playwright, whose works—mostly farces and comedies—deal with marital and class conflicts and point out the fears and weaknesses of the English lower-middle class. He wrote more than 80 plays and other entertainments, most of which were first staged at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. At age 15 Ayckbourn acted in school productions of William Shakespeare, and he began his professional acting career with the Stephen Joseph Company in Scarborough. When Ayckbourn wanted better roles to play, Joseph told him to write a part for himself in a play that the company would mount if it had merit. Ayckbourn produced his earliest plays in 1959–61 under the pseudonym Roland Allen. His plays—many of which were performed years before they were published—included Relatively Speaking (1968), Mixed Doubles: An Entertainment on Marriage (1970), How the Other Half Loves (1971), the trilogy The Norman Conquests (1973), Absurd Person Singular (1974), Intimate Exchanges (1985), Mr. A’s Amazing Maze Plays (1989), Body Language (1990), Invisible Friends (1991), Communicating Doors (1995), Comic Potential (1999), The Boy Who Fell into a Book (2000), and the trilogy Damsels in Distress (2002).

The cast of the axed TV soap, down on their luck and looking for work, have found themselves performing in an experimental opera taking a bleak look at modern Britain.

  • Standing with the Women of Burma to End Rape and Sexual Violence
    110 high profile women stand with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual violence Standing with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual No. 1 violence July 2010 www.burmacampaign.org.uk 110 high profile women stand with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual violence 110 high profile women, including Dame Judi Dench, Annie Lennox, Jo Brand, Gillian Anderson, Imelda Staunton, Julie Walters and Zoë Wanamaker, are standing with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual violence. In the pledge the high profile women, who also include activists and politicians, have vowed to support: • An investigation into rape and sexual violence by the Burmese military against ethnic women and girls. • An end to impunity for rape and other forms of sexual violence in Burma. • Support for victims. • The inclusion of women at every political level in Burma including the peace negotiations between the Burmese government and the ethnic armed political groups. • Burma’s Rape Law to be in line with international human rights standards to outlaw rape in marriage. Rape and sexual violence by the Burmese army • The use of rape and sexual violence by Burma’s armed forces is ongoing with impunity and reports of rape have increased over the last years. • Although winning a landslide victory in national elections in November 2015, the National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, will not have control over the Burmese army when it takes office in April 2016. Therefore, there is a possibility that army rape will continue even with the new NLD-led government in place.

  • Ayckbourn's Stage Reaction to Families Buried In
    AYCKBOURN’S STAGE REACTION TO FAMILIES BURIED IN TECHNOLOGY KAĞAN KAYA Cumhuriyet University, Sivas Abstract: The paper analyses the premature warnings of British playwright, Alan Ayckbourn, who foresees that the modern family has been under the onslaught of technology. His dystopia, Henceforward... (1987) , set in the flat of the high-tech addict protagonist, Jerome, tells one of the traditional family stories of the playwright. However, the paper focuses on Ayckbourn’s neglected dramatic mission - that of securing the British family. Keywords: Alan Ayckbourn, British drama, dystopia, family, technology “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” (Tolstoy (2001), 1875-1877:1) 1. Introduction British playwright, Sir Alan Ayckbourn, is often referred to as a famous farceur. However, he is not pleased with this label, because with a “tireless dedication to the idea of theatre and... fierce moral concern with the state of the nation,” (Billington 1989), he has a distinctive multi-dimensional understanding of drama. In fact, he expresses sociologically harsh criticism of British middle-class man through his black comedy, in the light of his vision of drama. Henceforward... , which is the thirty-fourth play of the playwright, is a very noteworthy fraction of Ayckbourn’s tenet, for several reasons. It received the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy in 1989. It was the second quickest transfer of all Alan Ayckbourn plays to the US, Houston’s Alley Theatre. Even the title of the play suggests a kind of manifesto of the playwright which declares that he is resolute in the changes of his drama.
