  • The Norman Conquests is three interlocking full-length plays - Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden - that were ingeniously written by Alan Ayckbourn to be enjoyed individually or as a trilogy, and can be seen in any order. Set in the dining room (Table Manners), living room (Living Together) and garden (Round and Round the Garden) of an English country house, each individual play offers a different view of one comically catastrophic weekend, shared by six spouses and in-laws, at the family home in the country. And while each play is complete on its own terms, by viewing all three plays (in any order), the audience is able, detective-like, to piece together all of the hidden secrets and lies, the outrageous, hilarious and shocking interactions, which occur over the course of the weekend.
  • Stephen plays Norman, the titular wannabe lothario.

    • "I found out from a text message a friend sent me saying, 'You've missed out on Leading Actress in a Musical.' I was asleep. I was woken up in a blur, didn't know where I was. There were dozens of messages on my machine. This is slightly unreal. I'm just excited for the whole company. Seven nominations. I think the person I'm most pleased for is Alan Ayckbourn, because you can't get that many nominations without the raw material being something special." (playbill.com)
