Intimate Exchanges, Volume II
Alan Ayckbourn
Why we like it
"Alan Ayckbourn's 'Intimate Exchanges' brilliantly navigates the infinite possibilities of choice and consequence, intertwining the lives of its characters in unexpected ways."
From: Two-Hander PlaysWhat readers are saying
Readers appreciate the cleverness of the script and the multiple endings that provide a unique experience. The play showcases Ayckbourn's talent and genius as a playwright, leaving audiences curious for more. Many find themselves engaged by the potential variations of the story.
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
"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
