HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES January 16-31, 2026 | Irving Arts Center An Adulterous Farce by Alan Ayckbourn Directed by B. J. Cleveland Three couples—linked by workplace ties and tangled personal lives—find themselves caught in a web of deception after an affair between a younger man and a colleague’s wife leads to a hasty cover-up. To deflect suspicion, they blame their late-night absences on a fictional crisis in the home of an unsuspecting third couple, dragging them into the farce. A fast-paced farce where marital mix-ups, mistaken identities, and a hilariously chaotic dinner party collide.
