Two’s company, three’s a crowd

Everyone has relationships, everyone experiences passion and everyone definitely has more than their share of attitude. Combine these three things and you come up with Bedroom Farce, the play opening in North Lake College’s Performance Hall Feb. 26.

Bedroom Farce is a story written by Alan Ayckbourn, a British playwright, and intertwines sex, relationships, comedy and plenty of accents.

Alice Butler, speech teacher and head of the theater department, said it’s “an interesting study in relationships and a good contrast between the old and modern.”

The set is three bedrooms, each portraying different aspects of life. The story centers on four married couples in the ‘70s in London, England, who have all been invited to a party. The focus of the play will be on the various types of relationships among the couples.

Nicholas Walter, who plays the party’s host, said he liked the play because of the physical energy and attitudes involved.

Butler also added that there was plenty of comic timing and sexual tensions mixed in along with the ins and outs of marriage.

The cast includes Brittany Hobden, Brock Riney, Andrew Worley, Jenina Burek, Jenny Couey, Chantel Garcia, David Alverado and Nicholas Walter.

The “behind-the-scenes” crew consists of Meredith Thomas, Eloy Corral II, Tricia Endsley, Ryan Fisher, Sean O’Brien, Whitney Moody, Sajeev Pillar, Bonnie Socall and Dustin Sautter.

The play opens Wednesday, Feb. 26 and will continue through Saturday, March 1. All performances are free and begin at 8 p.m.
