About How The Other Half Loves

'How the Other Half Loves'  is a 1969 play in two acts by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn.

There are three couples in this play, the men all working for the same firm.  One of the younger men is having an affair with the wife of the oldest, and when each returns home suspiciously late one night or early one morning, they invent a story about having to spend some time smoothing domestic matters int he home of the third couple. 

Of course, the third couple have to show up to put the fat in the fire, but that complication only adds to the fun of this famous farce. 

The play is known to have secured Ayckbourn's runaway success as a playwright.

Directed by Erik P. Kraft                                                                                                                                                                                  Produced by Heather Pruiksma and Graham Daley
