Ilona Horvath directs “TIME OF MY LIFE” written by Alan Ayckbourn .
The play is set in three different periods of time in a small Italian restaurant in Northern England.
When Gerry Stratton plans a family meal out with his two grown up sons to celebrate his wife, Laura’s 54th birthday and proposes an almost prophetic toast to ‘happy times’, he has no idea of the events that will unfold over the course of that evening. Their elder son, Glyn (played by John Pickard), is now back together with his long-suffering wife Stephanie, and their younger son, Adam has brought along his new girlfriend, an outrageous hairdresser, to meet the Stratton family for the first time.
Family skeletons intrude on cheerful domesticity as we get a glimpse of Glyn and Stephanie’s story unfolding in the future scenes. Meanwhile at another table in the same restaurant, Adam and Maureen’s story is played out in reverse chronology, with Gerry and Laura remaining in the present time unpicking their marriage and recalling first love.
“Nevertheless – you know, in life, you get moments – just occasionally which you can positively identify as being amongst happy moments. They come up occasionally, even take you by surprise, and sometimes you’re so busy worrying about tomorrow or thinking about yesterday that you tend to miss out on them altogether. I’d like to hope tonight might be one such moment. And if it is – let’s not miss out on this one, alright? All that really means is, enjoy yourselves (…)”
