Hi all,

Bookings open today for Harbour Theatre's first production of 2004, Alan Ayckbourn's "Woman In Mind"and directed by Fred Lawson.

“Woman In Mind” is one of Alan Ayckbourn’s blacker comedies, dealing with the gradual mental collapse of a woman, Susan – a collapse that appears to be precipitated by being knocked unconscious by a garden rake. Starved of affectionate companionship and understanding love by an appallingly boring husband and priggish son who’s ashamed of her, Susan conjures up an ideal family who come to her idyllic, but also imagined, garden. Susan gradually begins to lose control over these idealised people and their visitations, until finally she breaks down completely in a nightmarish and climactic fantasy involving her real and imaginary families.

Call 08 9335 5917 between 5-7pm, Monday to Friday, but be quick, there will be only 6 performances for the general public!
