Sisterly Feelings
by Alan Ayckbourn
Synopsis
This ingenious comedy is about two sisters and the choices they make (or have made for them) over a few months.
There are four versions that can be done on different evenings, each stemming from one random and one deliberate choice.
The story starts with a funeral at which Dorcas, Abigail and Simon solve a dilemma by tossing a coin: either Dorcas or Abigail wins the toss and goes with Simon.
Later, at a picnic, Dorcas opts for either a camping adventure for Abigail or a day of sports for herself.
The inevitable end of either choice is a wedding.4 women, 8 men
Press Reviews
"For more than a decade, Ayckbourn has been drawing up a great comic map of middle class malevolence, dottiness and insecurity. Sisterly Feelings confidently extends the view."
