About the event
Two plays with the same characters running simultaneously in adjacent theatres, actors leaving one stage to join the action on the other-who else but Alan Ayckbourn could have devised such a scheme? In House, Teddy Platt, whose marriage is spectacularly on the rocks, is visited by the creepy Gavin Ryng-Mayne, whos is trying to persuade him to stand for Parliament; in Garden, Teddy's jilted mistress threatens suicide as a garden fete is prepared.
