Synopsis
Confusions consists of a series of five interconnected one-act plays; ‘Mother Figure’, ‘Drinking Companion’, ‘Between Mouthfuls’, ‘Gosforth’s Fete’ and ‘A Talk in the Park’. First staged in 1976, the scenes are all loosely linked by characters or locations, but more subtly through the common underlying themes of obsession, isolation and human desire for companionship. Ayckbournshows his comedic genius with five stories that runs the gamut of comic technique from situation comedy to outright farce.
