Cast announced for London Classic Theatre’s 25th anniversary production of Just Between Ourselves.
London Classic Theatre have announced the full cast for their UK tour of Alan Ayckbourn’s Just Between Ourselves as the company celebrates its 25th anniversary. Michael Cabot, the founder and Artistic Director of London Classic Theatre, directs Judy Buxton (Marjorie), Joseph Clowser (Neil), Helen Phillips (Pam), Tom Richardson (Dennis) and Holly Smith (Vera).
Ayckbourn’s play, Just Between Ourselves, premiered at the Library Theatre, Scarborough on 28 January 1976. London Classic Theatre’s new tour opens at New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich on 26 February and tours to a further 20 venues across the UK, concluding the tour at Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham on 12 July.
Five birthdays. Two unhappy marriages. One possessive mother.
It is 1976. Dennis tinkers in his garage, cheerfully indifferent to wife Vera’s impending breakdown. Marjorie hovers in the background, making tea and finding fault. Neil has planned a birthday surprise for his wife, but Pam doesn’t share his enthusiasm, preoccupied by frustrations of her own.
In perhaps his most emotionally charged play, Alan Ayckbourn masterfully evokes a world of hidden tensions and suppressed hostility. He expertly navigates the tightrope between comedy and tragedy, guiding us towards a hilarious, yet chilling finale.
Alan Ayckbourn is one of the most widely performed living English language playwrights and a highly regarded theatre director. He is an Olivier, Tony and Molière Award-winning writer who has written over 80 full length plays, more than half of which have gone on to the West End.
