What is, arguably, Alan Ayckbourn’s darkest play, Just Between Ourselves, is under the SpotLight as the playwright’s Archivist, Simon Murgatroyd, continues his look at significant plays with this 1976 classic – alongside contemporary recordings of the playwright speaking about the play.

Simon looks at what inspired the playwright to write such a dark play, how he created it and his own response to the work.

The SpotLight podcast draws on archive material held in the Ayckbourn Archive at the Borthwick Institute for Archives and adapts the SpotLight on Ayckbourn video from the Ayckbourn YouTube Channel and can also be heard on Apple Podcasts on the Alan Ayckbourn channel.
