Spiral staircase gets a workout for the dual action of PICT's 'House & Garden'

Post Gazette: "Starting in 1959, prolific playwright Alan Ayckbourn has written 72 plays -- make that 73. On a list of titles, 'House & Garden' may show up once, but it is actually two plays performed simultaneously in a venue where two theaters are close enough for actors to move from one stage to the other and back in time for their cues.
Each play has its own audience and each audience keeps its seats, so it takes two nights to see both what's happening in the 'House' and who's doing what to whom in the 'Garden.'
