Ayckbourn's Classic Comedy RELATIVELY SPEAKING Comes to the Lyceum
Alan Ayckbourn's brilliantly funny play Relatively Speaking comes to the Lyceum Theatre from Monday 19 - Saturday 24 September starring highly acclaimed TV and stage actors Robert Powell and Liza Goddard.
Greg only met Ginny a month ago but has already made up his mind that she's the girl for him. When she tells him that she's going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter's hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire where he finds Philip and Sheila Enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is - they're not Ginny's parents.
Robert Powell returns to the Lyceum following his recent performance in King Charles III. Best known for his award-winning portrayal of Jesus in Franco Zefferelli's Jesus of Nazareth, his extensive stage career includes roles in Alan Bennett's Single Spies and Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell. Familiar to TV viewers for her appearances in cult classics Doctor Who and Bergerac, Liza Goddard has also made guest appearances in BBC's Wild West, CITV's Out of Sight and ITV's Midsomer Murders and appeared on-stage in many Ayckbourn plays including Life of Riley, Season's Greetings and If I Were You.
Beautifully crafted, wonderfully funny and charmingly English, this new production from Theatre Royal Bath Productions (Present Laughter, The Father), directed by Robin Herford (The Woman in Black) promises to be an hilarious take on the play that launched Ayckbourn's hugely successful career.
Relatively Speaking is at the Lyceum Theatre from Monday 19 - Saturday 24 September.
