	Alan Ayckbourn Editorial by Simon Murgatroyd
		In 2006, Alan suffered a stroke which was always going to have long-term implications - despite the fact he was back at work within six months and has since tackled a directing schedule a man half his age might baulk at.
		Alan has also already said in several interviews he intends to write a new play for 2008; inspired by Alain Resnais’s film of Private Fears In Public Places, he apparently intends to set it during an onstage blizzard!
		Alan’s decision to lift the moratorium on major tours also means strong revivals of plays such as Bedroom Farce and How The Other Half Loves are taking place around the UK and this trend should continue.

	Damsels in Distress - Alan Ayckbourn
		"Ayckbourn treats you to a vivid reminder of the pleasures of rep. The setting remains fixed, which throws into relief the versatility of the crack company of seven who play a different collection of characters in each piece.
		As Ayckbourn explains in his preface, he wanted to work with a theatre company again: not actors hired on a per-play basis, but rather the same actors doing different plays together.
		Arguably, many of Ayckbourn's plays have suffering and troubled women and foolish men in them, but here the basic issues and problems are similar enough to make for three different perspectives on a certain class of people getting by in contemporary England.
