Intimate Exchanges Alan Ayckbourn 59E59

New York Times: "CLAUDIA ELMHIRST can’t wait to read a novel again. When she’s memorizing lines, the British actress doesn’t touch a book, though that usually means only a few weeks of burying herself in a script. Since February of 2006, however, she has been immersed in “Intimate Exchanges,” a 750-page epic by Alan Ayckbourn that asks 2 actors to play 10 characters in 8 interconnected plays. Each play has two possible endings, and Ms. Elmhirst and her co-star, Bill Champion, have committed every variation to memory."
