Behind closed doors

Hollywood husband and wife Maxwell Caulfield and Juliet Mills head up an all-star cast in Peter Hall’s critically acclaimed production of Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Bedroom Farce’.

The play follows Trevor and Susannah, who have a problem relationship which requires urgent attention. What better solution than to talk it over with family and friends? Preferably in their respective bedrooms and ideally in the middle of the night.

Award-winning actress Juliet Mills, leads the tour de force cast alongside her husband Maxwell Caulfield.
A long standing partnership, Peter Hall and Alan Ayckbourn co-directed the London premiere of the play at the National Theatre in 1977.

It was so successful that it transferred to the West End in 1978 and was staged on Broadway the following year.
The action famously focuses on four couples in three bedrooms, with two celebrations, one blazing row and an illicit kiss (or two).

Alan Ayckbourn’s ingenious comedy shines a brilliant spotlight onto the trials and tribulations of suburban marriage.
The cast also includes Bruce Montague, renowned stage and screen actor whose credits include ‘Butterflies’ and ‘Keeping Up Appearances’; Clare Wilkie, TV regular who played Sandra Di Marco in ‘Eastenders’; Oliver Boot, a prolific theatre actor; and Julia Mallam and Ayden Callaghan who are best known for their roles as Dawn Woods and Miles De Souza respectively in ITV’s ‘Emmerdale’.

The show takes place in the King’s Theatre until Saturday October 16th.
