From a review by Normal Powell:
The author of Highcliffe Players' current presentation "Relatively Speaking" Alan Ayckbourn, suggests in a programme note that the play was written to make people laugh "when their summer holiday at Scarborough was spoiled by the rain, and they came into the theatre to get dry before trudging back to their landladies." The first night audience at the Municipal College theatre on Saturday, 28th November 1970, thoroughly enjoyed this highly sophisticated comedy, brilliantly produced by Daisy Hutton, and superbly performed by a very talented cast.

Clive Cosgrif is excellent as Greg, and he teams up well with Christine Lomax who is first-class, portraying the moods of Ginny excellently. Colin Lewis was outstanding as Philip, giving a most convincing performance. Barbara Tyldesley has not appeared with the Players for two or three years and she gave a most impressive performance as Sheila, every gesture, every look, perfectly timed and meaningful.

Performances will be given each night this week, with the last one on Saturday. The extremely good set, a garden patio, is the work of Richard Hinton and Jack Norris.
