Life and Beth
Alan Ayckbourn
Time of My Life charts the decline and fall of a successful family business founded and nurtured by Gerry and Laura Stratton.
It is Laura's fifty-fourth birthday and Gerry has organized a small family dinner at their favourite restaurant.
Domestically, all seems well.
Glyn, their eldest son, has patched up his marriage with Stephanie; younger son Adam has a new girlfriend and is deeply in love.
But, as we suspect, all this is surface stuff.
For, as their evening proceeds, the play reveals skeletons from the past and a spectre of the future.
"A play by an inspired master craftsman and cunning psychologist working at full stretch: harsh and funny, simple and cunning, generous but unforgiving." - London Sunday Times"Funny, very funny, and not at all funny; quintessentially Ayckbourn."
— London Times
"Immensely subtle, ingenious."
— Guardian
