Taking Steps • SOUTH COAST REPERTORY P5 From the Playwright

In this excerpt from a 1990 interview with Bernard F. Dukore for his book Alan Ayckbourn: A Casebook, the prolific playwright talks about the genesis of Taking Steps.

was looking to write a farce, that was the first thing. I had a story which I thought was quite fun. And I had a situation, originally, that I also I thought was quite fun, about a man whose wife had left him a note and she’s the only one who can read it. That was the germ of it. Then out of that came Tristram and his little speech. I was also explor- ing the running gags, which go all the way through. It was one of the hardest plays ever to write. The flaws came reasonably late. I thought I still needed some- thing visual for this play, something that keeps the au- diences’ eyes open as well as their ears. I remember casting my mind back to and saying, “I can’t use that.” But then I came to think of the three floors, which had great potential. I need- ed it, it came out of a demand. I needed a bedroom Alan Ayckbourn (left) dedicated Taking Steps to for Kitty. I needed a bedroom for Roland.
