THE STORY:
Ayckbourn calls Relatively Speaking a well-made play but also a
most delicious comedy. When Greg asks for Ginny's hand in marriage,
he fails to realize that the relationship between Philip and his
intended is NOT one of parent and offspring but rather of 'late
summer and early spring'. Confusion reigns in this riotous comedy of
mistaken identities.
Setting is a London flat and a country home 1968. English accents
required.
CHARACTERS: 2 women and 2 men(ages note only how characters should
appear)
Greg: - a lovely, charming though somewhat awkward ( a bit of an
innocent) and very much in love with Ginny age: mid -late 20's
Ginny: - 'the early spring' bright, experienced and confident, knows
what she wants and it is Gregs age: mid-late 20's
Philip: 'the late summer' attractive, charming and entitled by
virtue of being a man of a certain age and social standing. Married
to Sheila age: mid 50's

she is full of delightful surprises. Married to Philip. Age: mid
40's to early 50's
