Alan Ayckbourn has been a firm fixture in the British theatre scene since 1959. Beloved by amateur dramatic groups, you are never too far from a production of one of his plays. For their latest show the Drayton Players take on Absurd Person Singular, having previously put on comedies by J.B. Priestley and Oscar Wilde.

The play tells the story of three couples who meet on three consecutive Christmases, and charts the changing fortunes of the members of the group. It is particularly notable as each act is set in a different kitchen, so this provides an added challenge for the group. Since the Drayton Players mark their 50th anniversary this year, a challenge to mark this mighty occasion must be undertaken. Go along and see how it all turns out.
