A Small Family Business

A Small Family Business
(1995)

Calhoun's 1995 season concluded with the regional premiere of Alan Ayckbourn's A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS. A hilarious yet troubling satire on modern British morality, Calhoun adapted the play to the U.S. and set it in Memphis. Always one of theatre's most innovative playwrights, Ayckbourn was in one of his darker moods with this thought-provoking masterpiece. Ayckbourn's set enabled the action to take place simultaneously in up to four different locations, concluding with a violent yet humorous ending that leaves audience members questioning many of their values.

The play was presented in proscenium in the Black Box and given a six-show July run.
