Confusions - Alan Ayckbourn

Confusions is a set of five interlinked one-act plays: Mother Figure, Drinking Companion, Between Mouthfuls, Gosforths Fte and A Talk in the Park. Each play deals riotously, but with sharply pointed undertones, with human eccentricities and the universal dilemma of loneliness; a mother unable to escape from baby talk, a disastrous fte, an unsuccessful seduction attempt, a fraught dinner encounter, and a final play about five self-immolated characters on park benches.
