Question: Where will Alan Ayckbourn's Neighbourhood Watch be going after the Tricycle Theatre? / Will Neighbourhood Watch be transferring to the West End? / Where can I see Neighbourhood Watch?
Answer: Ever since Libby Purvis's exceptional review of Alan Ayckbourn's Neighbourhood Watch in The Times last week, this has become the single most asked question of the website in recent memory.
The answer is you only have until 5 May to see Neighbourhood Watch at the Tricycle Theatre in London. After that the company's UK tour closes with Alan Ayckbourn turning his focus to his new play Surprises and his revival of Absurd Person Singular.
There are no further immediate plans for Neighbourhood Watch, which is somewhat understandable since the same company will, by the time the play finishes at the Tricycle, have performed it more than 200 times with very few breaks since September 2011. The production has gone from Scarborough to New York to London stopping at Bowness-on-Windemere, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Guildford, Cambridge, Richmond, Bath, Cheltenham, Eastbourne, Watford, Oxford and Windsor along the way.
You can find out more about the play Neighbourhood Watch at Alan Ayckbourn's Official Website here.
