at Wimborne

Delighted audiences at the Tivoli

rocketed with laughter at Wimborne Drama’s production of “How The

Other Half Loves” as Alan Ayckbourn’s famously dizzy comedy worked

its magic once again. Eccentric Senior Manager Frank (Jeremy Austin) has no

idea of the duplicitous antics of his wandering wife Fiona (Caroline Butcher) as she explores intrigues of

infidelity with Frank’s right-hand man Bob (Steve Symonds). Well-meaning

Frank’s efforts at promoting the welfare of his staff soon involve

Bob’s wife Terry (Penny Pearson) in the deception, along with upcoming accountant

William (Peter Brown), and his wife Mary (Keely Campbell). Graham

Hawkins’ first foray into directing assembled a dynamic mixture of

newcomers and old stagers to inhabit the eclectic cast of characters in this

well-known study of manners and class.

Linda Kirkman “Scene

One”

“….it was a brave decision on the part of Graham Hawkins to

choose as his directorial debut a play where the set is actually two different

rooms in two different houses... …. but in fact it worked like a dream.”
