The action of each play takes place simultaneously and follows the same six characters in the same English country house from Saturday evening to Monday morning. Believing it his mission in life to make women happy by showering them with love, Norman makes the most of every opportunity to seduce his sister-in-law Annie, charm his brother-in-law's wife Sarah and woo his wife Ruth during a disastrous weekend of squabbling, eating, drinking and fondling.Living Together - T722182407Producer Jon Usher.

Annie has arranged for her brother, Reg, and his wife to take on the nursing duties while she escapes for a romantic getaway.

Round and Round the Garden - T1901291709In Round and Round the Garden we discover what went on outside during the disastrously eventful week-end at the home of Annie and her invalid mother. Amorous assistant librarian Norman persists in the belief that at least one of the women will fall victim to his charms in spite of the presence of their husbands and other potential lovers. This continues to cause havoc among the rest of the guests with some unforeseen consequences. Confusion reigns supreme as relationships come under scrutiny, human frailties are exposed and truths come to light in this highly entertaining mix of comedy, drama and farce.Director Helen Leblique. Performer Richard Earl (Norman). | |

Round and Round the Garden - T0280464349The final part of our greatest living playwright' seminal trilogy about the dangers and delights of extended family life in the English Home counties. We finally see Norman's arrival at Annie's house, and he brings with him romance, passion, mayhem and bare-faced dishonesty. Will Reg ever get a game of tennis? Will Tom ever get the cat down from the tree? Will Norman revisit the brown rug? Will Sarah, Ruth and Annie finally work out what he is up to? Always a favourite playwright, it concludes our staging of this marvellous cycle of plays over the past five years.Producer Connaught Productions. | |
