Presented by Theatre Royal Bath Productions, and playing at Wyndham's Theatre from 14 May until 31 August 2013, RELATIVELY SPEAKING stars Felicity Kendal, Jonathan Coy, Kara Tointon and Max Bennett.
After just one month, Greg has made up his mind that Ginny's the girl for him. When she tells him that she's going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter's hand. After discovering a scribbled address, Greg follows Ginny to Buckinghamshire. He finds Philip and Sheila in the garden, enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast, but the only thing is – they're not Ginny's parents.
