I was completely won over by this play's clever mix of the comic, the fantastic, and the thrilling. It held me riveted until the very end and its main character (Poopay) was a delight. See a good production of it and you'll bound to end up an Ayckbourne fan.
Hilarious!

Starts quite slowly, but stick with it!! Act II is ridiculous, hilarious, and a wonderful ending.

This is hard play to describe. I'd call it something like a funny, heart-warming thriller. "Communicating Doors" is the story of a prostitute named Phoebe who is given the chance to save her own life and the lives of two other women when, fleeing a murderer through a communicating door, she finds herself unexpectedly twenty years in the past. This play made me feel a full range of emotions in three hours when I saw it in the theater, and reading it was almost as good. Ruella and Phoebe, the two main characters, are two of the most likable and complex people I've encountered recently in literature. It kept me laughing, and in suspense, right up through the final scene. I rarely give out five stars, but this play deserves it.
