A Stoke-on-Trent theatre company will perform a play which is "full of laughter and poignant social commentary" this Christmas.

Alan Ayckbourn's classic play Absurd Person Singular returns to the stage this December, offering a sharp and humorous critique of 1970s middle-class life.

Set over three Christmas Eves, the play follows the fortunes and follies of three couples: Sidney and Jane Hopcroft, Geoffrey and Eva Jackson, and Ronald and Marion Brewster-Wright.

The play offers a sharp and humorous critique of 1970s middle-class life (Stoke Rep Players).

The show runs at The Stoke Rep Theatre from Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 December 2024 at 7:30pm each evening, with a matinée performance at 2:30pm on the Saturday.  

Tickets for all performances are available online, direct from the Players Box Office (01782 209784), or by email from [email protected]. Evening tickets are £15.50, and matinée tickets are £12.50. Child and student concessions are £11.00. 

This amateur production of Absurd Person Singular is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

The show runs at Stoke Rep Theatre between 10 and 14 December (Stoke Rep Players).
