In this sharp, hilarious domestic farce from 1969, Alan Ayckbourn’s “How the Other Half Loves” unravels two chaotic dinner parties happening simultaneously, revealing the tangled lies and hidden affairs of three couples. At its heart: Fiona, a bored housewife, tries to cover up her affair with Bob — her husband Frank’s own employee — while Roger Allam’s entitled Frank delivers laughs with his sixties-era swagger that still feels uncomfortably familiar today. Director Phillip Breen keeps the pace tight, letting the actors’ raw, believable performances carry both comedy and biting social commentary on class, control, and the messy reality of marriage.
