Absent Friends by Alan Ayckbourn (SOLD OUT)
About
Absent Friends is a play by the renowned playwright Alan Ayckbourn. The play premiered in Scarborough 50 years ago. A tea party has been arranged for the recently bereaved Colin by “friends” and acquaintances. However, Colin’s acceptance of his situation and of his fulfilling time with his fiancée only serves to highlight and widen the rifts in the other relationships.In an interview with Ayckbourn in 2021, he describes this play as an “unflinching tragi-comedy which explores the death of love”. Although first aired in 1974, it has been regularly revived making it one of the most popular plays in the Ayckbourn play canon. When asked if the play was still relevant today, he replied “I think a lot of it still very relevant. Human nature doesn’t change. We just adopt different hairstyles”.
