<DIV align=center><STRONG><FONT size=4>ABOUT THE PLAY </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> <FONT size=4>Alan Ayckbourn's <EM>RELATIVELY
SPEAKING</EM> was first produced in the late 60s and launched the career of this
prolific playwright. Since then it's been a regional staple
throughout Britain but didn't return to the national stage until a 2013
revival was produced in the West End and toured nationally. (Sample
reviews below.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="size: 4" size=4>While wildly popular in Britain,
<EM>RELATIVELY SPEAKING</EM> did not get a solid American
production. It never played on Broadway, despite numerous attempts
that always fell through, including one production that, disastrously,
attempted to "Americanize" it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="size: 4"></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="size: 4" size=4>That won't be happening in the Weathervane
production! British it is, and British it will be
played! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV><STRONG>"This is one
of the most cleverly constructed of Ayckbourn's 77 plays because it relies on
cross purposes never being discovered, other than by the audience, until the
final scenes." Lizzie Loveridge, Curtain Up; </STRONG><A

<DIV><STRONG>"Seeing it again after all these years, in Lindsay Posner's witty
production, I was reminded of the play's brilliance as a theatrical
construct. Although lighter in texture than many of the 70 or so plays
Ayckbourn has written since, it contains fascinating intimations of the
middle-class marital angst that was to become his speciality."

<DIV><STRONG>". . . That breakthrough production in 1967 starred Celia Johnson,
Michael Hordern and the young Richard Briers, and Noël Coward generously sent a
congratulatory telegram to the young author, congratulating him ‘on a
beautifully constructed and very funny comedy’ That verdict still seems
bang on the money." Charles Spencer, The Telegraph; </STRONG><A
