Alan Ayckbourn : Invisible Friends before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Invisible Friends:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Sweet playBy Shopper MomLovely play about a fairly typical family who don't make enough time for each other and suffer unusual consequences. Gentle, honest humor made a very real background for the unreal invisible friends.We will be reading more Ayckbourn. (Nice monologues for girls in the play also.)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good one.By CustomerIt was a great read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Rare Book, great read for young actorsBy MeleLoIt is very hard to find good audition material for young actors, Invisible friends is filled with great scenes and monologues for young actors. This book is hard to find and out of print. It is a collectible so if you find one photo copy the pages you need for acting and cherish the book!

Alan Ayckbourn's play is about a very ordinary teenager called Lucy. With her father glued to the cowboys on the telly, her mother preoccupied with neighbourly gossip and her brother enclosed in his ear-phones, no one wants to know about her place in the school swimming team. So Lucy revives her childhood fantasy friend, Zara, setting a place for her at the very ordinary tea table. This time Zara materializes, bringing with her an idealized father and brother, and showing Lucy how to make her real family vanish. The moral of this cautionary tale is carefully spelt out - that when you get what you want it's not what you wanted - as Lucy's dream family turns out to be a nightmare. The play is supposedly for children of seven upwards, but there's a message here for parents, too, about listening to kids.

About the AuthorAlan Ayckbourn was born in London in 1939 to a violinist father and a mother who was a writer. He left school at seventeen with two 'A' levels and went straight into the theatre. Two years in regional theatre as an actor and stage manager led in 1959 to the writing of his first play, The Square Cat, for Scarborough's Theatre in the Round at the instigation of his then employer and subsequent mentor, Stephen Joseph. Some 75 plays later, his work has been translated into over 35 languages, is performed on stage and television throughout the world and has won countless awards. There have been English and French screen adaptations, the most notable being Alain Resnais' fine film of Private Fears in Public Places. Major successes include Relatively Speaking, , Absurd Person Singular, , A Chorus of Disapproval, , , Henceforward ..., , Things We Do For Love, and . Surprises was first presented at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, and subsequently at the the Minerva Theatre, Chichester in 2012. In 2009, he retired as Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, where almost all his plays have been and continue to be first staged, after 37 years in the post. Knighted in 1997 for services to the theatre, he received the 2010 Critics' Circle Award for Services to the Arts and became the first British playwright to receive both Olivier and Tony Special Lifetime Achievement Awards.
