It's about time for a revival.

The one I'd love to see again is A Small Family Business. Most timely!

Oh i am gonna hunt you down and slap you, i though this would be for A Chorus Line lol

[zyx987]

Looks like being a good year for Ayckbourn revivals. I really enjoyed Absent Friends and the Norman Conquests at Liverpool was superb.

Isn't Relatively Speaking coming as well?

A Chorus Line at the Comedy? [raised eyebrow]

[songanddanceman2]

Have any of the recent Ayckbourn revivals actually made money?

[MamasDoin'Fine]

Most did pretty well, they were budgeted for limited seasons.

[MamasDoin'Fine]

I'm looking forward to a revival of 'Henceforward', please!

[AnythingGoes23]

Rob Brydon is headlining the cast with Nigel Harmen

Sonia Friedman is taking a leaf out of Michael Grandage's book as each performace will have 100 tickets for ¯10.

[MamasDoin'Fine]

Full casting is above!

[jaqs]

Some of the £10 seats are pillar seats that have previously sold for £5.

Henceforward was a Mckellan classic!

[MamasDoin'Fine]

Wasn't it just. Ms asher was amazing too.
Such a clever piece.

House and Garden would be good Ayckbourn plays to revive although it would need to be done either in rep or at different theatres that were close to each other.

[MamasDoin'Fine]

You mean 'The Norman Conquests', with "Round And Round The Garden' and " Living Together'!
They were just done at the Old Vic a few short years ago.

As chance would have it, House and Garden is being performed at the Bridewell Theatre / Bridewell Hall from 24 October-4 August 2012.

There's lots of Ayckbourn around at the moment, but this is a rare treat.
