Imagine a couple.

A successful, generous, sensitive and kind couple. A couple utterly in love with a beautiful home, picture book garden and flawless children. A couple so perfect that all other couples pale into insignificance in comparison.

Meet Richard and Anthea, the perfect couple...

This autumn, York Settlement Community Players return with a fresh and exciting new production of Alan Ayckbourn’s 1978 hit comedy, ‘Joking Apart,’ with a world where couples compete, confusion is constant and tennis balls zip from left to right.

Don’t miss this hilarious garden comedy performed in the round at York’s premiere fringe venue by one of York’s oldest and greatest amateur groups. Directed by upcoming young director Sam Freeman (‘Revenge’, York Theatre Royal), ‘Joking Apart’ promises to be a 12 year roller-coaster ride of drama and laugh out loud comedy!

Alan Ayckbourn is one of the UK and the world’s most performed and most loved playwrights. His many plays include classics such as Bedroom Farce, A Small Family Business and Way Upstream and have been performed everywhere from the National Theatre to Australia.
