The Footlight Club presents Olivier, Tony and Moliere Award-winning playwright Alan Ayckbourn's 1972 play Absurd Person Singular. Three couples host Christmas Eve gatherings in their respective homes over three successive years. On the first holiday eve, "lower class" but very much up-and-coming Hopcrofts are in their bright new gadget-filled kitchen, anxiously hosting a small party for their bank manager and his wife and an architect neighbor. The following Christmas Eve finds the architect and his wife hosting a party in their now-neglected, untidy flat. The final Christmas Eve finds the the bank manager and his wife playing host in their large but clearly dated Victorian-style kitchen. The dark thread running through this wild comedy of behind-the-scenes party disasters is the changing fortunes of three married couples. Learn More

Fine performance by accomplished actresses and actors. The set was a bit flimsy and uninspired but the wit of Wilde shined through. Wouldn't hesitate to return to the Footlight Club. Seats were centrally located, though they are not raked steeply enough to prevent poor sight lines, especially when the bozo in the seat in front of me wore his hat throughout the performance.Written on Feb 01 2010

Description
Insider Trading and blackmail: Robert Chiltern is a rising politician with a bright future, an activist wife, a marriageable sister, and a charming best friend. He has the perfect life – until he is confronted with proof of the shocking indiscretion that started his meteoric rise by Mrs. Cheveley. Oscar Wilde’s classic tale of pride, politics, and posh society rings delights as much today as it did when it premiered in 1895.
