A cruel and hilarious masterpiece of tragic comedy and comic tragedy . . . On all three levels of the house, people have fantasies and deep-seated misconceptions about each other and themselves, and Ayckbourn pierces through their carapace with the precision of a brain surgeon, releasing hideous pain and grateful, aching, embarrassed laughter in equal proportions. He is the only playwright I know who can combine ribald humour with the cruelty of Seneca.' Sunday Times
Things We Do for Love won the 1997 Lloyds Private Banking Playwright of the Year Award.
