Synopsis
“…the real world where heroes are easily forgotten”Don’t miss this one!
Man of the Moment is Ayckbourn in the swim and at his very best. Sharply observed and keenly characterised, this master craftsman of the stage cleverly sets about examining the way in which the media mangles moral perception.
The play originally opened in London in 1990 and starred Michael Gambon as mild mannered Douglas and Peter Bowles as wide boy, bank robber Vic.
The subject matter is extremely dark, but it is so funny that you find yourself laughing out loud when you know you shouldn't.
With a real swimming pool as its centerpiece, this play will run you through the full gamut of emotions and leave you delighted that you set aside this date in your diary!
