Castle Hill Laughs at How the Other Half Loves
Alan Ayckbourn’s How the Other Half Loves, the last show of 2013 at Castle Hill’s Pavilion Theatre, is the madcap story of three married couples with only thing one thing in common: and it isn’t wedded bliss.
With his trademark incisive wit and imaginative staging, Ayckbourn takes the audience on a wild ride as William and Mary Featherstone go to dinner with first his new boss and then his new colleague, blithely unaware that they’re being used as unwitting dupes in a double-barrel game of marital ping pong.
Director Dave Went thinks this is the most challenging and most fun of all Ayckbourn’s plays. ‘The technical demands of this piece mean that the cast, crew and I have been kept hopping every step of the rehearsal period.,’ he says. ‘But we’ve also enjoyed ourselves enormously, and we’re confident the audience will have a great time too.’
How the Other Half Loves opens on Friday, November 22nd and runs until Saturday December 14th. Performances are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8.15pm, and Sunday matinee at 4.30 pm. Tickets are $26.00/$21.00, and are available online at www.paviliontheatre.org.au or from the ticket office on 9634 2929.
The Pavilion Theatre is located on Doran Drive, Castle Hill Showground, Castle Hill. Parking and intermission refreshments are free.
