Running Time: 50 minutes approximately
Other people are odd. And often infuriating. But in the hands of John Mortimer and Alan Ayckbourn, always entertaining.
Lightbox Theatre presents Countdown and Mill Hill, a pair of rarely-seen comic gems from two of Britain’s best known modern writers. Bring your lunch and take a 50-minute journey behind other people’s curtains.
Countdown by Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Lora Davies
Mill Hill by John Mortimer
Directed by Emma Faulkner

“Lora Davies’ sure-footed direction and perfectly judged pace… utterly sublime. The Stage on Ayckbourn’s Taking Steps
