Placing wartime and 2020 lockdown life side-by-side, Alan Ayckbourn’s 85th play is a touching, tender and, of course, funny reflection on the ability of love to rise above adversity and reach across the years. Veteran actor Rob Hathaway, stuck at home during the summer of 2020 with only his sensible older sister for company, has little to do but relive his glory days. One day Rob spots a stranger hanging out the washing in the adjoining garden – but the neighbours haven’t been around for months. So who is the mysterious girl next door? And why is she wearing 1940s clothing?
"The Girl Next Door" is a testament to Ayckbourn's masterful storytelling, blending comedy, drama, and a touch of romance in a play that will leave audiences pondering the nature of time and the enduring power of human connection. Don't miss this captivating theatrical experience that promises to be both thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining. "The Girl Next Door" is a delightful journey through time, filled with Ayckbourn's signature charm and insightful observations on life and love.
