Our Review:
22 December 2003
I am sure that even Sir Alan Ayckbourn would admit that his musical work does not rank amongst his most significant successes. Even when paired with Andrew Lloyd Webber his first opus Jeeves, back in 1976, was nothing short of a disaster, and did not fare a lot better when it was reworked twenty years later.
Like many of his revues and musical entertainments, Me, Myself and I, initially staged as three connected, but separate lunchtime shows, has been rewritten at least three times since it's Scarborough premiere in 1981.
Its latest incarnation at the ideally suited Orange Tree, shows it to be a slight, but occasionally witty and poignant work, perfect as an alternative entertainment for the festive season, but nothing to set the theatrical world alight.
This four-hander combines Ayckbourn's preoccupation with a dissection of middle-class English mores which often (as here) reveals the underlying loneliness and despair of his character...
