Review: Ten Times Table, by Alan Ayckbourn, Christian Malford Players

2:36pm Monday 26th July 2010

Alan Ayckbourn often looks at different relationships and how they break down under pressure; this play shows his style with flair. The people of Pendon are attempting to organise a pageant based on a local legend of the Pendon Twelve, 12 men who banded together to overthrow the local landlords. The team heading up the organisation is an extremely varied bunch varying from the snooty and prudish aristocrat to the teacher wishing to be a left-wing, marxist political activist and a variety of other characters in between all being held together by the suffering chairperson. As the play moves on, the personal bonds start breaking down and remoulding.
