Confusions
by Alan Ayckbourn
22 November 2008
At The Brook Theatre, Old Town Hall, Chatham, Kent.
Written by
one of Britain’s most popular playwrights, Confusions is
a witty and poignant glimpse into relationships and loneliness,
consisting of four interconnected one-act plays. Mother Figure
is the heroine, who decides that if adults behave like children
then that is how they should be treated. Between Mouthfuls
is a surreal view of quarrelling couples in a restaurant. Gosforth’s
Fete is the village gala where everything that can go wrong
does. Finally, four strangers on separate park benches, each with
their own troubles, have A Talk in the Park.
