Sisterly Feelings

"For more than a decade, Ayckbourn has been drawing up a great comic map of middle class malevolence, dottiness and insecurity. Sisterly Feelings confidently extends the view."

Sunday London Times

  • Full Length Play
  • Comedy

  • Set Requirements: Exterior Set
This ingenious comedy is about two sisters and the choices they make (or have made for them) over a few months. There are four versions that can be done on different evenings, each stemming from one random and deliberate choice.

The story starts with a funeral at which Dorcas, Abigail and Simon solve a dilemma by tossing a coin: either Dorcas or Abigail wins the toss and goes with Simon. Later, at a picnic, Dorcas opts for either a camping adventure for Abigail or a day of sports for herself. The inevitable end of either choice is a wedding.
