“Alphabetical Order” proved to be a comical and engaging play for the May Play Readers. Set in the library office of an English provincial newspaper, this play by Michael Frayn explores what happens when an young efficient assistant is employed to help the disorganised manageress and assorted office workers who work in a state of permenant and utter mess and confusion. The easy and warm atmosphere of the chaotic office is soon transformed, the key words now being “ordered” and “soulless”. The problem is somewhat resolved when the office takes over the running of the newspaper but not before we have met some memorable and entertaining characters.
There’s a lot to be said for English humour!
