Relatively Speaking

Presented by Theatre Royal Bath Productions Directed by Robin Herford

Beautifully crafted, uproariously funny and charmingly English, Relatively Speaking was Alan Ayckbourn's first West End hit in 1967.

It made him a household name, with critics hailing the arrival of a great new comic talent and Noël Coward himself praising the young writer on creating “a beautifully constructed and very funny comedy”.

Greg only met Ginny a month ago but has already made up his mind that she's the girl for him. When she tells him that she's going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter's hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire were he finds Philip and Sheila enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is, they're not Ginny's parents…
