Darkly funny and tragic all at the same time; Alan Ayckbourn's Absent Friends tells the story of the hapless Colin who found love and then lost it. His love is forever idealised and never put to the test of a life and marriage. His friends, though, live in the real world in real marriages with real problems and real fears. Putting these two, perhaps incompatible, worlds together makes for a rich exploration of the English traits of complex social manners, the terror of not knowing what to say and the delicious humour of awkwardness. Come along and laugh, cringe and witness Ayckbourn at his best in a hilarious slice of 1970's Britain.
