A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS by ALAN AYCKBOURN

Directed by Carolyn Stoyle and Nick Ludgate


“A Small Family Business” had its World Premiere in London in 1987,  winning the Evening Standard award for Best Play. 
It later opened in New York in 1992. 

Synopsis:
Jack McCracken has a great opportunity. He is to take over as Managing Director of the family furniture business.

Jack, honest & upright, intends to improve efficiency but rapidly uncovers wholesale fraud, theft & deceit both in the firm & amongst his family.

As a result of his daughter’s actions, he almost at once has to succumb to blackmail & this is only the first of a series of moral compromises that he will have to make.

CODS produced this show in October 2013. A complicated set ensured that the action flowed rapidly from one scene to the other at breakneck speed!
As ever with Alan Ayckbourn productions, it was very well received.

YET MORE BUSINESS PICS …
