Synopsis

Don't be fooled by the title. This play is a comedy, with some black humour, which is as expected from an Ayckbourn play. The story is imaginative, funny and feel good all in one.

It follows the story of a house over 60 years. In 1925 it's a stately home owned by Lord and Lady Kirkbridge, 1945, it's a preparatory girls school, 1965 an arts centre and finally in 1985, a grand hotel. It follows Anthony Spates from a young 17yr old waiter to a 70yr old hotel manager as his life progresses intrinsically connected to the house. Laugh at life as it moves from one period to the next and watch some familiar faces in the cast joined by some new ones.
