Press clippings

Table Manners, the first in Alan Ayckbourn's three-part sequence Norman Conquests, is dedicated to family food and feuds, each meal taking off where the last one collapses insensate. Theoretically about bed, it is in practice and exuberantly about breakfast.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 6th October 1977
