Written by Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by Various Pinner Players directors: Frank Cuthbertson, Steve Feasey, Simon Cash, Mark Waters and Peter Newman

Confusions is a set of five interlinked one-act plays. Each play deals riotously, but with sharply pointed undertones, with human eccentricities and the human dilemma of loneliness.

A mother unable to escape from baby-talk, a disastrous fete, an unsuccessful seduction attempt, a fraught dinner encounter and finally, to sum up, five self-centred characters failing to communicate on a park bench.

The plays are Mother Figure; Drinking Companions; Between Mouthfuls; Gosforth’s Fete and A Talk in The Park.
