Clergyman's wife, Susan, bored, restless and frustrated with life in general and her family in particular, escapes to a happier, more exciting dream world of her own imagining. But when Susan's two worlds start to overlap and finally collide, danger threatens.

After a critically acclaimed run in Scarborough, Janie Dee heads the cast as Susan in this major revival of Alan Ayckbourn's bitter sweet 1985 comedy hit, directed by the author for the first time in over two decades.

In 2000, Dee's performance in Ayckbourn's Comic Potential at the Lyric Theatre received theatre's most prestigious drama awards, an achievement only ever matched by Dame Judi Dench - The Olivier, London Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Theatre Best Actress Awards. For the Broadway transfer she received further awards and honours including: Obie, Theatre World, Lucille Lortel, Drama League Citation and Drama Desk Nomination for Best Actress.
