About the Play
"Just Between Ourselves" is one of Alan Ayckbourn's earlier plays - first produced in 1977
and is, as so many of his plays, concerned with marital relationships.
This play is set in the garage and back garden of Dennis and Vera's house. Living with them is
Dennis's elderly mother, Marjorie. Her possessive and jealous behaviour is slowly undermining Vera,
both mentally and physically.
When Neil and Pam call, to view the old car that Dennis is trying to sell,
a friendship forms between the two couples.
Each scene occurs on the birthday of one of the characters and the comedy becomes
increasingly sharp and ironic, building up to a climax of bizarre violence and madness!
Incidentally, Ayckbourn's 70th play "If I Were You" opens in Scarborough on October 12th.
