LIVING TOGETHER
by Alan Ayckbourn
December 1 - December 18
What starts out as a family reunion weekend quickly turns to hilarious chaos in this masterful farce by Alan Ayckbourn, the author of last season’s Taking Steps. Norman doesn’t exactly look like one of the world’s great lovers. He’s a sloppy assistant librarian with the libido of an oversexed sheepdog. Over the course of one weekend in the country, he has a simple mission: to disrupt, inspire, and make his extended family happy. Whether they like it or not.
