Synopsis

There are no less than eight intimate exchanges in this ingenious tour de farce and each has two different endings; you can see Intimate Exchanges sixteen times and not see the same play twice!

And one actor and one actress play all 10 characters.

This is Ayckbourn's most unusual look yet at the foibles of middle class living.-1 woman, 1 man

Press Reviews

"There are scores of side splittingly funny lines derived from Mr. Ayckbourn's acute observation of the middle classes at bay, floundering under the pressures of trying to lead, or to be seen leading, respectable lives. The comedy is wry, sardonic and bitter."
— The London Spectator
