Alan Ayckbourn's Game Plan

Stuart Baillie meets Ross Drury, director of Game plan, on stage from Tuesday 21st - Saturday 25th May. The interview discusses the play itself and Ross talks frankly about his career, he prefers directing and bluntly says he's a 'rubbish' actor who can't deliver lines! As for Game Plan, is it a comedy or is it a tragedy? Ross says it's down to you, the audience, to decide. It has the hallmarks of a classic tragedy and the style of a farce When former businesswoman Lynette falls on hard times, after her million pound business has collapsed and her husband has left her, daughter Sorrel decides to take matters into her own hands and advertises herself online. Alas the encounter with her first client, a retired dry cleaner, doesn't go to plan! Set in the throws of the early noughties, Nokia phones and pink champagne are the back drop to an uncomfortable dark-hearted farce of cracked morality, where everything is up for sale.
