What readers are saying

Readers have mixed feelings about the play, enjoying the second half while finding the first half less engaging. The exploration of inner dialogue was appreciated, though some wished for more conflict among the characters' selves.

Synopsis

Musical

Characters: 1 male 3 female Interior Set Book and Lyrics by Alan Ayckbourn.

Music by Paul Todd.

Mrs. Mary Yately is no run of the mill housewife-- she has been chosen by the Evening Echo as Mum of the Year.

And Mrs. Yately is no ordinary character in this brilliantly inventive new musical by Britain's comic master-- she is three separate personalities played by three actresses.

One actor plays all the men in Mary's life all of whom are shall we say not on this world to make her life easier.

"We know that Alan Ayckbourn writes more ingenious comedies than anyone else.

Now he is starting to write more ingenious musicals as well.

Me Myself and I offers more civilized pleasure than any other British musical I've seen this year."-- London Guardian.

"Splendid galloping music and rapid fire lyrics."-- London Standard.
