Step backstage with the cast of How the Other Half Loves at the Old Vic. New behind-the-scenes images have been released, offering a unique backstage look at the production.
The production stars Roger Allam as Frank Foster, alongside Dorothy Atkinson as Fiona Foster, Ayesha Antoine as Teresa Phillips, Laura Elsworthy as Mary Featherstone, Adam Gillen as William Featherstone and Rowan Polonski as Bob Phillips.
A raucous take on sex, class and marital misunderstanding, How the Other Half Loves is the play that cemented Alan Ayckbourn as one of Britain’s greatest modern playwrights.
It follows Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips, who are each accused of having an affair by their spouses, so they use the innocent and unsuspecting Featherstones as an alibi, dragging them into a web of chaos and confusion.
