Surprises By Alan Ayckbourn

Alan Ayckbourn's thought-provoking, comic drama has its head in the future and its heart in the past. From parental plots and youthful rebellion to middle-aged marital disillusion, Surprises explores love stories yet to happen in a future filled with surprises.

Spanning 50 years, this tightly plotted, time-travelling production takes a humorous and poignant look at the implications for romance in a world where people live on long beyond current expectations.

But can love hold true when it's possible to live for 200 years?

And in a world where the future can be visited, is it better not to know what is coming next?
