When eating out, why is it that the next table's conversation is often so much more fascinating and intriguing. It is Laura Stratton's fifty-fourth birthday. She is out for the evening to celebrate at her favourite local restaurant. The other guests include her businessman husband, Gerry, her two sons Glyn and Adam, Glyn's wife Stephanie and Adam's new girlfriend, Maureen. Three couples celebrating a happy family outing. Yet is it all as harmonious as it appears? What secrets lie buried in the past? What hidden tensions lurk beneath the present surface? What awaits them all in the future? What do the waiters make of it all? Alan Ayckbourn's comedy, Time of my Life, explores the family's lives, past, present and future in a three way journey through time. All of them in search of personal happiness but, as is so often the case, hard pressed to recognise it even when they find it.
