Ayckbourn Ensemble: Arrivals & Departures Tickets

At a London rail terminus an elaborate trap is deployed to capture an elusive terrorist. The Strategic Simulated Distractional Operations Unit (SSDO) is ready to pounce. Civilian witness and garrulous traffic warden, Barry Hawkins and his minder, troubled young female soldier Ez Swain wait - strangers brought together at this crucial moment... Arrivals & Departures is Alan Ayckbourn's lastest World Premiere Production. His 78th play, he directs the play himself on the occasion of his 75th birthday. "IT IS HIS NEW MASTERPIECE; AMBITIOUS, INVENTIVE, MISCHIEVOUSLY FUNNY, BUT EMOTIONALLY SERIOUS WITH A SHOCKING, IRONIC, REDEMPTIVE FINAL TWIST. THERE ARE MOMENTS THAT MIGHT BE ARTHUR MILLER. ONLY, OF COURSE, FUNNIER." -The Times, London
