​

We open in the bedroom of Ernest and Delia parents of Trevor.  They are going out to dinner to celebrate their anniversary but Ernest is very concerned about damp and water leaks in their house.  They discuss their son Trevor who is not communicating with them at present.  They have misgivings about his wife Susannah and say that they preferred Jan, his previous girlfriend.  We switch to the bedroom of Nick and Jan where Jan is getting ready to go to Kate and Malcolm’s housewarming party.  Nick is in bed in extreme pain with an injured back. 

The final bedroom is Kate and Malcolm’s where both hide each other’s shoes in the bed.  These three bedrooms have different activities.  The older couple eat snacks, pilchards on toast in bed as the anniversary treat, Nick tries contortion to reach the paperback copy of Jaws which he is reading without getting out of bed and Malcolm will end up assembling a dressing table  The assembly of the said table in the Ayckbourn play is hysterically funny as Malcolm tries to make amends for Trevor ruining the party.  Susannah will catch Trevor kissing Jan and Susannah is already unhinged with jealousy of Jan.
