Ten Times Table

Robert Daws leads a star cast in the Classic Ayckbourn comedy.

Ten Times Table is the inaugural production of The Classic Comedy Theatre Company, produced by Bill Kenwright and his team behind The Agatha Christie, The Classic Thriller and The Classic Screen to Stage Theatre Companies – which between them have enjoyed over 15 years of theatrical success across the UK.

In the long-since “grand” ballroom of the local Swan Hotel, a most miscellaneous assemblage gather to conduct the business of the Pendon Folk Festival, led by excitable chairman Ray. Unfortunately for Ray, his calamitous committee quickly divides, as his wife Helen has a bone to pick… Add a Marxist schoolteacher, a military dog-breeder and an octogenarian secretary, and the table is set for one of comedy master Ayckbourn’s most hilarious plays. This tumultuous comedy by committee is not to be missed.

The star cast includes leading stage and TV actor Robert Daws (The Royal, Outside Edge and Roger Roger); Deborah Grant (Not Going Out and Bergerac); Craig Gazey (Coronation Street and The Full Monty, West End); Gemma Oaten (Emmerdale, Holby City); Mark Curry (Bedroom Farce, Dangerous Corner); Robert Duncan (Drop The Dead Donkey) and Elizabeth Power (EastEnders).
