Alan Ayckbourn Comedy 3m, 2f minimum. Confusions is actually a set of five interlinked one act plays. Each play deals riotously, but with sharply pointed 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 fate fraught dinner encounter and the final play sums up with five self immolated characters on park benches. "Buoyant ... sad, sharp and funny." - London Guardian "Runs the gamut of comic technique from faintly pathetic situation comedy to outright farce.... Ayckbourn has demonstrated once again that even in a trivial situation he can hold the attention with his matchless ear for conversational speech, and in untrivial situations shows himself a comic writer of immortal quality." -London Financial Times FEE: $100 per performance.
