Details

From Alan Ayckbourn's series of plays, follow characters in a roundabout of mischance and misunderstandings. A Cricket Match is one of Ayckbourn's cleverest and most delightful plays in which two talented actors take the audience on a hilarious journey through the difficulties and complications of marital discontent. This funny, touching and at times poignant comedy has an Englishman's passion for cricket as its background. On a hazy summer's day the "teachers versus pupils" cricket match features more drama off the pitch than on! Celia, the headmaster's wife, fears her marriage to the troubled Toby, may well be over. She confides in Toby's best friend, the socially awkward Miles, who is married to the flamboyant and vivacious Rowena, who is given to absurd practical jokes and indiscreet extra-marital affairs. Miles has feelings of his own for Celia however and a shoulder to cry on can lead further.
