Presented in association with Mid Surrey Theatre Company, this play runs from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 April.
“The great thing about Alan Ayckbourn is that he has never lost his ability to spring a surprise. The pace is relentless, the jokes excellent, the twists and turns of the plot beautifully crafted. Best of all, this is a comedy thriller that really thrills. Communicating Doors may lack the depth of Ayckbourn’s greatest plays, but he has rarely written anything that offers more pure fun than this. And in the closing moments he comes up with a beautifully haunting scene of recognition and redemption that brings unexpected tears to the eyes.
Charles Spencer - Daily Telegraph, 4 February 1994
It is 2014, with civil war raging in London; in a hotel bedroom, a rich old man invites a call-girl in to witness his death-bed confession to the murder of his two wives. Unfortunately, his partner, who actually committed the murders, realises what is happening. He will stop at nothing to conceal his secret, even to pursuing the girl 20 years back in time. How can she escape him? What will happen when she encounters the other two women who died all those years before?
Alan Ayckbourn¹s 46th play (out of 76, and still counting) is a remarkable departure, encapsulating time travel and murder, interwoven with extremely funny lines.
