Synopsis

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.

Press Reviews

"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
