What If You Could Swap Bodies With Someone Else? Another Brilliant Play From Phoenix

Alan Ayckbourn’s If I Were You will show at the Professional Centre on Parliament Road in the CBD between the 24th of August and 8th of September. Charges are Kshs. 650 for adults and Kshs. 400 for students. Every Thursday is Student Night where they will get a Buy One Get One Free offer. Below is the synopsis of the play.

“The Rodales seem like an ordinary family but beneath the surface, things are beginning to crack. Jill and Mal have lost the spark in their marriage, their son, Sam resents his father and their daughter, Chrissie has recently become a mom, and is dealing with marriage issues of her own.

And while they share advice on how others should live their lives, nobody is really taking it on board. Until Mal and Jill see things from a dramatically different perspective, that is.

Waking up one morning finding that they have switched personas, Mal in Jill’s body and Jill in Mal’s, they must continue life “as normal” as their other half. Jill faces the challenge of working with their son-in-law, Dean, as the store manager of a home wares shop, while Mal has suddenly become a housewife, learning more about his children, and finding out the secrets they already know about him!

Will seeing things from the other side make matters even worse, or is this what they need in order to save their family?”

The play is directed by Caroline Odongo and sponsored by Nick Creations, NTV and Capital FM. Show times are:
Wednesday to Friday – 7:00 p.m.
Saturday – 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, 8th September – 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
