Constant Companions at the Stephen Joseph Theatre and on tour


  • The Stephen Joseph Theatre Westborough Scarborough, England United Kingdom (map)

Alan Ayckbourn’s 89th play Constant Companions will play at The Stephen Joseph Theatre this Autumn before heading out on tour. Naomi will play the part of Edie in the world premiere production.

Lorraine's a fabulously successful lawyer of a certain age. Jan Sixty is the janitor of her building, an android of indeterminate age. In a not-too-distant future where humans have turned to artificial friends for companionship without compromise, can Lorraine and Jan find true love?

In Constant Companions, Alan Ayckbourn weaves together their stories and those of lonely bachelor Don, technician Winston, PA Sylvia and android maid Edie with characteristic humour and compassion.

Alan Ayckbourn's one of the UK’s most successful playwrights. Constant Companions is his 89th play – most of them have premiered here at the SJT. Inducted into American Theatre’s Hall of Fame and a recipient of the Critics’ Circle Award for Services to the Arts, he became the first British playwright to receive both Olivier and Tony Special Lifetime Achievement Awards.
