Greg wants to pop the ultimate question to his girlfriend, Ginny – but what follows next sets them both on a path of hilarious miscommunication! This Sunday, Main Street Theater is excited to present Alan Ayckbourn’s brilliantly constructed farce, Relatively Speaking. This was Ayckbourn’s first hit, even earning him a congratulatory telegram from Noel Coward. Now, see this masterpiece live in Houston at Main Street Theater – Rice Village on May 12th at 3:00 p.m.
Ginny and Greg are in love, and despite the awkward amount of unexplained flowers and chocolates oddly filling her flat, Greg proposes as Ginny is heading off for the day to see her parents – or so she says. Greg has found the address and manages to arrive first to surprise her and ask her father for her hand. The problem is, these are not, in fact, Ginny’s parents! The “parents,” Sheila and Philip, welcome Greg into their house, each thinking he is someone else. The unraveling of this hilarious mess is so well-constructed, it’s no wonder Sir Noel wrote to Ayckbourn!

This production is one of mistaken-identities and ulterior motives that will make you laugh out loud, while simultaneously causing you to contemplate married life and all the joy (or lack thereof) that it can bring.
