A comedy-thriller time travel love story with a little farce thrown in for good measure (yes, all of those - and more!), Communicating Doors is one of Ayckbourn's best and most challenging plays.

For detailed information about the play, go to http://communicatingdoors.alanayckbourn.net/index.htm.  Please read about the characters on the play website before the auditions.  Be prepared to run the gamut of emotion and ages.  Auditions are cold read - no monologues.
