The Apollo Theatre, Newport, are delighted to announce a second showing of our production of Alan Ayckbourn’s play ‘Bedroom Farce’ following its popular run in February. The play is showing on 14th and 21st August with matinee and evening performances on both days.

Trevor and Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest: three couples whose own relationships are tenuous at best. Taking place in the three beleaguered couples’ bedrooms during one endless Saturday night, beds, tempers and domestic order are ruffled, leading all the players to an hilariously touching epiphany. Ayckbour’s clever use of time and space makes this an intricate and sophisticated comedy while also portraying the deteriorating and rebuilding of relationships among the couples.

Alan Ayckbourn is one of the most prolific and widely performed of living English language playwrights. Almost five decades after its world premiere in 1975, Bedroom Farce remains one of the most popular of his plays.

Director Gwen Stevens said, ‘You can’t really go wrong with an Ayckbourn, with his wonderfully timed lines and realistic characters. We all know people just like the characters in his play. It could sound as though all the disasters make a depressing evening’s entertainment, but you will see it is full of laughs from start to finish.’

You can catch ‘Bedroom Farce’ at the Apollo Theatre on 14 & 21 August at 2.30pm and 7.30pm on both days. Book online at
