Synopsis

This is the tale of a series of dinner disasters, maddening mishaps, and social catastrophes replace the usual carolers, candy canes, and cheery family gatherings associated with Christmas time in Sir Alan Ayckbourns' "Absurd Person Singular". In this wacky British Comedy, we meet three couples who meet on three successive Christmas Eves to struggle amongst themselves to save face and their places on the social ladder.

Adelaide Theatre Guide Review

A first-class British comedy script provides the basis for a good production? Not always, but it certainly does for Galleon Theatre's "Absurd Person Singular".
Director Margaret Dixon has taken a great script, a cast of six excellent actors and a simple and effective set to provide a great night's entertainment.

Messenger Press Review

Despite generating big laughs, this is no lightweight play. Darker than the average kitchen sink drama, Alan Ayckbourn's three-act seventies comedy is an inspired look at matrimonial failure and social climbing.
