Information for Show & Tell at New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme (Play). Jack's planning a big party for his wife's birthday. He's pulling out all the stops and has booked a touring theatre company to perform in the main hall of the family home. The only problem is that Jack is getting a bit forgetful in his old age and can't remember all the details of the booking... The Homelight Theatre Company is on its knees. They desperately need a well-paid gig and Jack's booking is very well paid. Pinning him down on the details has been tricky and something doesn't feel quite right. Alan Ayckbourn's 90th play is a celebration of theatre, a delightfully dark farce lifting the lid on the performances we act out on a daily basis.

Approximate runtime 2 hours 30 minutes (including any interval).
