The fearless four are David Michaels, Clare Swinburne, Alan Perrin and Colin Mace .

Peter Bowles & Angela Thorne star
By Alan Ayckbourne
Greg wants to marry Ginny but she seems unduly reluctant for him to meet her mother and father. His suspicions further aroused by mysterious telephone calls, incessant bouquets of flowers and boxes of chocolates and a pair of incriminating slippers under her bed, he follows her to her parents' house in Buckinghamshire. Philip and Sheila are enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden but Greg's arrival swiftly disturbs the rural tranquillity and dizzying confusion soon reigns.
Peter Bowles and Angela Thorne are two of Britain's most distinguished actors, and are well-known for their starring roles in TV's To The Manor Born.
Beautifully crafted, wonderfully funny and charmingly English, RELATIVELY SPEAKING was Alan Ayckbourn's first great West End success and turned him into a household name. When it opened at the Duke of York's Theatre in 1967, the critics hailed the arrival of a great new comic talent.
As funny as anything Ayckbourn has ever written
THE TIMES
The most brilliant comedy of misunderstandings to have been written in the past 40 years
