It's good to see Silksoundbooks star audio book reader Finty Williams getting great reviews for her role in Alan Ayckbourn’s play Bedroom Farce, at the Rose Theatre, Kingston.

It has been almost 35 years since the first production, but Bedroom Farce's exploration of different attitudes to love, sex and marriage is as fresh as ever in this hilarious revival directed by Peter Hall.

The play has not one bedroom, but three, each occupied by a different married couple. We also have many of the traditional elements of farce - hints at illicit sex, slamming doors and mistaken motives and performances from the entire cast that have collected 5 star reviews.

Bedroom Farce, together with Strindberg’s tragedy Miss Julie is part of a season called 'Behind Closed Doors' at the Rose Theatre, Kingston, from October 1 to November 28.

If you can't make it to Kingston, (Surrey, not Jamaica), here's a suggestion:

Finty Williams appears with her mother Dame Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer in the Silksdoundbooks unabridged audio book Evelina, by Frances Burney. This wickedly funny eighteenth century best-seller follows the trials and romantic adventures of a young beauty as she tries to make her way through Eighteenth Century Britain handicapped by her three great problems, being poor, being illegitimate – and being a girl.
