This year's biggest West End comedy hit is set to take the UK by storm as Bill Kenwright's critically acclaimed 'Savagely Funny', 'Seriously Hilarious', and 'Dazzling' production of Alan Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular goes on tour.
It's party time at the Hopcroft's and the only present they want is to succeed in scaling the social ladder. Havoc ensues at the drinks party they hold to impress their high-powered friends - but that's nothing compared to what happens over the next two years when the friends return their hospitality!
Featuring an all star cast including Sara Crowe, known for her outstanding performances in Four Weddings and a Funeral and Acorn Antiques the musical, Matthew Cottle who appeared alongside Samantha Janus in the hilarious BBC comedy Game On, Honeysuckle Weeks who starred in the hit ITV drama Foyle's War, and Marc Bannerman, best known for his role as Gianni Di Marco in EastEnders and most recently I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!
A classic comedy with outrageous characters - this is Ayckbourn at his best.
