Spanning 50 years, this tightly plotted, time-travelling production takes a humorous and poignant look at the implications for romance in a world where people live on long beyond current expectations. But can love hold true when it's possible to live for 200 years? And in a world where the future can be visited, is it better not to know what is coming next?
Alan Ayckbourn says: "Surprises is essentially several love stories but love stories that have a spin on them. It's science fiction but used as an allegory – as most good sci-fi is – to reflect what's happening today. It's about longevity. The chances of people living longer and longer as the centuries go by are increasingly plausible and certainly quite interesting dramatically."
