Confusions
by Alan Ayckbourn
March 2002
Confusions is a set of five interlinked one-act plays. Each play deals hilariously, but with sharp undertones, with human eccentricities and the human dilemma of loneliness. A mother unable to escape from baby-talk, a disastrous fete, an unsuccessful seduction attempt, a fraught dinner encounter and finally a play in which five self-obsessed characters fail to communicate on a park bench.
With the help of five different directors and some sparkling new acting talent, an entertaining evening is assured.
