Absurdia

A triple-bill of British Absurdist comedies
26 July - 8 September 2007

A RESOUNDING TINKLE and GLADLY OTHERWISE by
N.F. Simpson THE CRIMSON HOTEL by Michael Frayn

 

A Resounding Tinkle - Mr Trench, Oedipus Rex or Hiram B Larkspur? The Paradocks are anxious to decide an appropriate name for their pet elephant before the RSPCA arrive.

Gladly Otherwise - How are your handles? Fit the hand do they? A visit from a stranger gets Mrs Brandywine to view her surroundings just a little bit differently.

The Crimson Hotel - Two lovers escape to a charming hotel, only to find it has no doors, wardrobes or crimson curtains to lurk behind.

Welcome to Absurdia. Riotous and ridiculous, this triple-bill gloriously reveals the absurdity of everyday life.

N.F. Simpson, whose work includes One Way Pendulum, was a leading British Absurdist playwright of the twentieth century. Michael Frayn's plays include Donkeys' Years, Noises Off, Democracy and Copenhagen.
