HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES was written by renowned English playwright, Alan Ayckbourn in 1969, one of some 90 plays. It is a farce following the consequences of an adulterous affair between a married man and his boss's wife and their attempts to cover their tracks by roping in a third couple to be their alibi, resulting in a chain of misunderstandings, conflicts and revelations. The play is known to have secured Ayckbourn's runaway success as a playwright. This fast-paced farce weaves together the lives of three couples, one dinner party, and a whole lot of miscommunication. With Ayckbourn’s signature blend of clever structure and biting humor, How The Other Half Loves is a hilarious exploration of class, marriage, and the secrets we try to keep hidden. The three couples, directed by local theatre luminary Henry Avery, are performed by well-known Albuquerque actors Colleen Neary McClure and Clifton Chadwick, Abby Van Gerpen and Matthew Van Wettering, Michelle Volpe Roe and Yannig Morin.
