A NEW production from Theatre Royal Bath Productions of Alan Ackybourn's Relatively Speaking comes to Malvern Theatres next week.

When the show opened at the Duke of York’s Theatre in 1967, the critics hailed the arrival of a great new comic talent.

It follows the story of Greg, who only met Ginny a month ago but has already made up his mind that she’s the girl for him. When she tells him that she’s going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter’s hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire where he finds Philip and Sheila (played by Robert Powell and Liza Goddard) enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is – they’re not Ginny’s parents.

“As funny as anything Ayckbourn has ever written” The Times and “The most brilliant comedy of misunderstandings to have been written in the past 40 years” Daily Telegraph
