Clive Kneller directs ‘Confusions,’ an interconnecting one-act play by Alan Ayckbourn that will be presented by East Riding Theatre this Spring. As it celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2024, ‘Confusions’ promises an evening of laughter, highlighting human behaviour quirks.
Written during economic uncertainty, ‘Confusions’ offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the human experience. From the ridiculous consequences of an overly ambitious Summer Fête to the trials of a stay-at-home mom and one man’s quest to conquer loneliness through unique means, each play in ‘Confusions’ offers a diverse perspective on life’s challenges.
Featuring five talented actors and three interconnected plays, audiences are in for a bundle of laughs from one of the most prolific writers for the English stage. Whether it’s the comedic misadventures of Lucy in “Mother Figure,” the flirtatious escapades of Harry in “Drinking Companion,” or the chaotic events at Gosforth’s Fete, ‘Confusions’ promises to entertain and delight.
Don’t miss your chance to witness the indomitable spirit of the stiff upper lip in the face of life’s absurdities. Showing from April 25th to May 18th, 2024, Tickets are £20 Standard and £15 Under 16s.
