Natalie Imbruglia made her UK drama debut starring alongside Claire Price, Edward Bennett and Simon Gregor in a revival of one of Alan Ayckbourn’s most popular plays of the nineties.

Making hilarity and ingenuity from the things we do for love, this sharp and insightful drama about love’s trials and tribulations sees the UK’s greatest living playwright at the peak of his art. 

In South West London, Nikki and her fiancé Hamish move in with Nikki’s old school-friend Barbara, who lives in immaculate order on the middle floor of her converted house. Unfortunately Hamish is everything that Barbara despises. But their mutual, instant distaste for each other is a hostility which hides deeper feelings; feelings that could destroy an engagement and a friendship, creating repercussions for everyone – including the downstairs lodger, lovelorn postman and part-time plumber Gilbert, who has a secret fixation with his landlady.

Jon’s score took inspiration from Nikki and Barbara’s schooldays – a world of piano lessons, choir and the infamous St. Gert’s school song.
