A fourth couple, recently married, are struggling with problems of jealousy and miscommunication, which inevitably erupt at the party, spoiling everyone else\u2019s evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Director Mark Wilson said:\u201cDespite the title, there is no impropriety. Ayckbourn manages to make his ordinary characters extraordinary, with great wit, while we watch one couple\u2019s inept self-centredness disrupt the lives of those around them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlan Ayckbourn is always an astute and wry observer of human relationships and foibles, and his skill makes the misunderstandings and mix-ups marvellously entertaining!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cast features a number of new faces, as well as established members of the Makars, with support from the rest of the club to create an authentic 1970s set and costumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performances will take place at Church Hill Theatre in Morningside at 7.30pm on Thursday 8, Friday 9, and Saturday 10 May. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tickets can be bought online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghmakars.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edinburgh Makars Amateur Drama Club<\/a><strong> <\/strong>or at the door.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bedroom-Farce-artwork.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-593421\"  \/><a href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/2025\/04\/edinburgh-makars-in-bedroom-farce\/?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1744791928_607_pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/2025\/04\/edinburgh-makars-in-bedroom-farce\/?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1744791928_557_print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"m-a-box-avatar-url\" href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/author\/phyllis-stephen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1744791929_864_Phyllis-Summer-2022-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-100x100 size-100x100\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Founding Editor of The Edinburgh Reporter.<br \/>Edinburgh-born multimedia journalist and iPhoneographer.<\/p>\n<p>Like this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There will be no rest for the wicked in Edinburgh Makars\u2019 Bedroom Farce when it comes to Church&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4154,4155,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-24265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-edinburgh-local-news","11":"tag-edinburgh-news","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114346690193202695","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
