SHOW SYNOPSIS
Bedroom Farce is a play by Alan Ayckbourn with Four men and Four Women. Ernest and Delia go
out to diner to celebrate their wedding anniversary. When this is a failure they
return home and prepare to celebrate with pilchards on toast in bed. Malcolm and
Kate are preparing a house-warming party: Nick and Jan have been invited to this
but Nick has hurt his back and prepares to rest quietly in bed. All three
preparations are doomed, however, to disaster by the marital problems of Trevor
(son of Ernest and Delia) and his wife, who descend on each couple in turn
leaving chaos in their wake, finally taking over the bedroom (and bed) of long
suffering Malcolm and Kate. The three bedrooms are presented simultaneously on
stage and the action flows in and out from one to another during this hectic
night.
