Whidbey Island Center for the Arts takes on a monumental project: Staging Alan Ayckbourn's comic trilogy The Norman Conquests. Three plays-Table Manners, Living Together, Round and Round the Garden-each set in a different room of an English country house, and each telling a variation on the same story. The Norman Conquests, is directed by Andrew Grenier, opens tonight, June 7 and runs through June 22, 2013.
It's not every day hat playwright can come up with something completely unique or different. Everything has been done before, they say. If Alan Ayckbourn hasn't accomplished an entirely unique feat with his plays House & Garden, then he's at least done something pretty rare. You see, House & Garden are designed to be performed together, at the same time, by the same cast, in adjoining spaces. They involved the same characters, in one way or another, and deal with stories that intersect in numerous ways. The trick is to make each one of them a high-quality play that stands on it own. In that regard, House, the first one to open at Trinity Repertory Company, is not entirely successful.
