Damsels in Distress by Alan Ayckbourn

Damsels in Distress by Alan Ayckbourn

The trilogy comprises FlatSpin, GamePlan and RolePlay and was first seen at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough and later at the Duchess Theatre, London. Each is self contained, the common theme linking them is that the setting is the same London Docklands apartment and all three concern young women in various states of distress. Teenage Sorrel fights to keep herself and her abandoned mother, once a dot.com bUsinesswoman, financially afloat by setting up as a part-time hooker, advertising for clients on the Internet and persuading her tearful school chum to act as her maid. Just when you wonder what will happen in this terrible situation the play becomes a farce about body disposal, police questioning and media intrusion.

With almost sixty plays under his belt, Alan Ayckbourn is one of England's most prolific and widely produced living writers. He was knighted in 1997 for his contributions to the theater. This year, he was represented in New York by simultaneous productions of his plays House and Garden on both stages of the Manhattan Theater Club. He resides in the United Kingdom.
