Chorus of Disapproval, A

  • Alan Ayckbourn
  • Full Length Play, Dramatic Comedy
  • 7M, 6F
  • ISBN: 9780573016202

"A brilliance and invention remarkable even by his standards."

Financial Times

Symmetrically shaped, psychologically acute and painfully, heart-breakingly funny.

The Guardian

  • Full Length Play
  • Dramatic Comedy

  • Set Requirements: Interior Set
A diffident widower attempts to escape loneliness by joining the local amateur light operatic society. By accident rather than design (in fact, by not saying "no" to anything be it a request to obtain confidential information from his company or an offer of illicit sex) he advances from a small part to the lead. 

Parallels are skillfully drawn between The Beggar's Opera and the day to day activities of the society which is performing it. 

The National Theatre's production starred Michael Gambon as the shambling, madcap producer.
