AUDITION NOTICE:
SECOND HONEYMOON
written and directed by Philip Ayckbourn
Brief synopses: Set in a holiday cottage in Kent. George returns to the scene of his honeymoon to complete his novel which seems to be imitating his life… or vice versa. When mysterious neighbour Crispin arrives, the line between reality and the world of George’s novel starts to blur. His wife Tanya appears unexpectedly and so does her created lover Bradley. But are they in George’s reality or in George’s fiction? We soon find out that George has written himself into his novel and shortly his life will depend on him being able to write himself out of it again.
