![Alison Skilbeck in 'Are There More Of You' at Friars' gate, Kilmallock on may 2.](https://s3.amazonaws.com/imr-us/avondhu/images/2013/04/S18859-xlimage-R7966-comedy-at-friars-gate.jpg)
Described by playwright Alan Ayckbourn as "brilliantly observed, richly comic characters, all played to painful perfection, a wonderful evening'", Friars’ Gate looks forward to hosting the comedy 'Are There More Of You?' on Thursday, 2nd May at 8pm, written and performed by Alison Skilbeck.
The play is a tale of four women, living utterly different lives, linked, it seems, only by a postcode, though all on the 'verge of a nervous breakthrough'. First there is Claire, bright, abandoned Ambassador's wife, with blood on her hands; Italian Sophia, serving egg 'n' chips by day and osso bucco and Verdi by night, while upstairs Mamma seems set to last forever; Sara, the local Spirit Weaver, all sweetness and light, unless you tangle with her; and Sam, bluff northern business woman, who's always got on with men, but seems to be going home alone.
"Go see how character comedy acting is done! " Miranda Hart
"... the script and performance that brings these four women to vivid life are sharply funny, often poignant and always engaging" - Oxford Times
