Alan Ayckbourn is arguably Britain's most popular playwright and Absurd Person Singular is one of his most popular plays. An inspired comedy dealing with marital tensions, Absurd Person Singular is easily as fresh and provocative today as it was when it was first written nearly forty years ago.

Set over three Christmases in the kitchens of three couples: Sidney Hopcroft, an ambitious tradesman, and his submissive wife Jane; architect Geoffrey Jackson and his depressed wife, Eva and banker Ronald Brewster-Wright and his alcoholic wife Marion.

Disaster reigns at all three parties, and the Hopcroft's attempt to advance to prosperity and independence sees the decline of the others.
