Quotes & Notes
Having rejoined Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre, Scarborough, for the 1958 summer season, Alan remained with the company for its winter season at the Library Theatre followed by a regional tour.For the first time, Alan was employed purely as an actor; although given the nature of the company, it is likely he was still involved in occasional stage management and technical work.
Review extract from the Evening Sentinel (3 February 1959)
"Martine's ever-faithful country lad was handled with carefully rough edges by Alan Ayckbourn."
Review extract from the Birmingham Post (27 January 1959)
"I must praise, too, the playing of Alan Ayckbourn and Faynia Jeffery as village lover and urban fiancée."
