Table Manners
Episode 2 of 3
Alan Ayckbourn's classic comedy trilogy follows charming, compulsive philanderer Norman and five other characters over one weekend at a country house in England.
The Norman Conquests are considered the masterworks of Alan Ayckbourn, our foremost comedy dramatist. Julian Rhind-Tutt, as a sex-obsessed philanderer, and Helen Baxendale, his prey, lead a stellar cast through these three interlinked comedies, broadcast over three Saturdays. They can be heard in any order, or one play enjoyed on its own.
Music arranged and performed by Stephen Benham
Directed by Peter Kavanagh.
