Quotes & Notes
1961 saw Alan Ayckbourn's professional career began to move away from acting to what he is most well-known for. Although still predominantly an actor with Studio Theatre Ltd at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre, Scarborough, he was also writing and directing for the company. 1961 saw the premiere of his fourth play and his debut as a director with a production of Gaslight.Review extract from The Stage (3 August 1961)
"Alan Ayckbourn hovers on the edge of the play, contributing genial touches of sarcasm."
