ACP ncr me 261 rt leg NEW YORK NEA Just as Neil Simon is the most prolific and successful writer of stage comedies in the US Alan Aychboum holds that distinction in England and both men are popular on both sides of the ocean Ayckbourns 18th play Bedroom Farce is delighting audiences in its American debut engagement at the Brooks Atkinson theatre here his let Jok ing Apart is doing well in London and his 22nd Sisterly Feelings con tinues its world premiere run at the Stephen Joseph theatreintheround of which Ayckboum is manag ing director in the North Sea resort town of Scarborough about 300 miles north of Lon don Earlier Ayckbourn suc cesses such as The Norman Conquests Absurd Person Singular Relatively Speaking and How The Other Half Loves are being staged everywhere and everywhere in England the US and Canada these days HUMOR DISTRESS The humor as well as distress of English middle class life about which he writes communicates as readily to North American audiences His human in sights transcend geography Despite some similarities between Simon and Ayck boum there are strong dif ferences Simon for exam ple is master of the one Iiner the gag the joke situa MORNING 558 FOCUS 600 CARTOON PLAYHOUSE Prolific British playwright Ayckboum master of emotions tion Ayckboum admits he cant tell joke successfully to save his life much less write one prefer the laugh of total recognition he explains during brief New York visit for the opening of Bedroom Farce have an affinity for the domestic situation and Im not likely to move out of it My main interest lies in the relationships bet ween people Obviously such relation ships are not all funny or not funny all the time it is balance that Ayckbourn maintains nicely in his work and hes pleased when his au diences respond to these various aspects of life Joking Apart is study of envy and jealousy and how they destroy people but within the structure of comedy After per formance man in the Lon don audience told the playwright laughed ex traordinarily all the way through it but went into the bar afterwards had drink and felt very sad for the peo ple in the play The comment pleased Ayckboum who in relating the incident adds had managed to combine two emotions in the same even ing LAUGHTER Similarly Bedroom Farce provides an evening of heartfelt laughter It happens to be quite proper play that could be

final curtain theyll get themselves sorted ou Ayckboums insights provide the comedy at the same time inviting compassion The vulnerability of his characters seems to match that quality in Ayckbourn himself Ive come to the conclusion that Im small town person who likes pro vincial life Im alarmed by London these days and ter rified by New York he ad mits My happiest time is when Im back in small town and its the lives of the people there that like to chronicle SMALL TOWN The small town ac tually city of about 100000 population at the height of the tourist season is Scar borough in Yorkshire
