This is not a 'review' in the usually accepted sense! just some comments on a very funny play, very well done!

 

If you can, go and see Harbour Theatre's production of How the Other Half Loves an Alan Ayckbourn play, directed by Pat Barton, currently showing until the end of next week at Fremantle.

It's one of the most entertaining two and a half hours at the theatre that you will see this year!. No underlying messages, just sheer entertainment from a very energetic cast which had the opening night full house engaged from the opening minutes!

The couples, Bev Lawence & Kim Taylor, Jason Dohle & Emma Kenyon and Robert Whyte & Susannah Devenish kept up the hectic pace for the whole time. (And didn't the audience applaud when Jason's character got his come-uppance from his wife (Emma)!!

The joint dinner pary scene, staged simultaneously on the same set at two separate locations is an absolute joy (to see how they did it. get a ticket!)

A  'fish-and-chips' at Clancy's next door to start with and you're in for a thoroughly enjoyable night out!
