Relatively Speaking - Alan Ayckbourn - BBC Saturday Night Theatre

Relatively Speaking is a play by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, originally titled Meet My Father, his first major success



The action of the play takes place during a summer weekend in the bed-sitting room of Ginny’s London flat and on the garden patio of Sheila and Philip’s home in Buckinghamshire, outside London. The time is 1965.



The play opens in the flat of Greg and Ginny, a young co-habiting couple. Greg finds a strange pair of slippers under the bed and is too besotted to believe they might have been left by another man (which would also explain the bunches of flowers and boxes of sweets filling Ginny’s apartment). Ginny goes off for a day in the country, supposedly to visit her parents but actually to break things off with her older married lover, Philip. Greg decides to follow her.
