Woman in Mind by Alan Ayckbourn
The comic poet of middle class life, always so very funny, goes deeper and darker in this triumphant play about a housewife named Susan who is married to a boring cleric named George. After getting knocked out by stepping on the tooth end of a garden rake, Susan experiences hilarious hallucinations in which her oppressive and boring everyday life is replaced by a fantasy in which she is an ideal wife and mother with an ideal family. While her real family treats her with condescension and apathy, her fantasy family dresses in lovely white, always drinks champagne, lives in a stately home and tells her that she is wonderful. Eventually, the fantasy family becomes nightmarish and Susan begins to realize that she is going mad.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.
