Monday 8 to Saturday 13 March at 7.30 pm

The Chester Little Theatre's spring production is Alan Ayckbourn's Private Fears in Public Places to be performed from Monday, 8 th to Saturday, 13 th March.

This play, first performed in 2004, is vintage Ayckbourn. It takes a wry look at human relationships and at the way we often don't quite understand what makes other people tick.

It has six characters, three men and three women, aged young to middle-age. Ayckbourn shows how life casually throws people together “like so much solar debris adrift in space” as Ayckbourn says. The links between them are forged by every day circumstance.

The play has an unusual structure. The stories of the six people unfold during a series of scenes: some quite developed, some very short, some just evocative tableaux, which glide seamlessly into each other, following the fragments of people's lives. The result is a very cinematic play.

We look forward to seeing you!
