BEDROOM FARCE is a comedy by Alan Ayckbourn that contains a melee of events involving certain philandering characters, all occurring within similar moments of one another. As the title implies, the play is an absurd and confusing farce, comparing and contrasting the differences between couples young and old, and the different troubles they encounter. The play takes place in three bedrooms during one night and the following morning. The cast consists of four married couples.
- Ernest (60-ish) – bumbling and birdlike, set in his ways married to Delia, father of Trevor
- Delia (60-ish) – self assured, married to Ernest, mother of Trevor
- Nick (late 20’s to 40) – self indulgent but likable hypochondriac, spends the entire play in bed, married to Jan
- Jan (late 20’s to 40) –capable, good hearted, described as “jolly”, married to Nick, once dated Trevor
- Malcolm (20-30) – playful newlywed, fancies himself a handyman, married to Kate
- Kate (20-30) –playful newlywed, married to Malcolm
- Trevor (late 20’s t0 40) –described as spoilt, self-pitying, married to Susannah, once dated Jan
- Susannah (late 20’s to 40) – needy, lacks self confidence, married to Trevor
