This second enlarged and updated edition of A Guided Tour through Ayckbourn Country, originally published in 1999, is not a traditional play or a scientific treatise but rather a collage. Compiled from interviews conducted by Albert-Reiner Glaap with Alan Ayckbourn, along with Ayckbourn's own statements and articles about his work, it chronicles Ayckbourn's career from its beginnings to the present. The work offers a broader perspective on Ayckbourn not just as a playwright but also as a director and, importantly, as a person. Glaap pays tribute to Ayckbourn, whom he has come to admire over the years, while also providing insight into "Ayckbourn country." This book serves as an introduction for those unfamiliar with Ayckbourn, offering a glimpse into his creative process and motivations. For readers already acquainted with his work, it aims to deliver unique background information that is often inaccessible, coming directly from Ayckbourn himself. Ultimately, this volume aspires to inspire further exploration of Ayckbourn's contributions to theatre and to enhance the understanding of his artistic journey.
