The Norman Conquests - Classic Radio Theatre

Synopsis

When the deviously amorous Norman plans a clandestine weekend away with his sister-in-law, he has some fun and games in mind. But not quite the fun and games that he gets...Ayckbourn's trilogy - "Table Manners", "Living Together" and "Round and Round the Garden" - has been hailed as a mould-breaking masterpiece. All three plays take place concurrently - so an exit in one becomes an entrance in another - and can be played in any order. The story of the same dreadful weekend is illuminated from three different vantage points: the dining room, the sitting room and the garden. With a distinguished cast including Robin Herford as Norman and Tessa Peake-Jones as Sarah, "The Norman Conquests" is a brilliantly entertaining comedy of our time: wise and witty, funny and profound. "The Classic Radio Theatre" range presents notable radio productions of much-loved plays by some of the most renowned playwrights, and starring some of our finest actors.
