ONE play can be quite a task to take on – let alone five!

But the team at Phoenix Theatre Company made it look like child's play.

The Bolton players' were challenged to five plays in one when they brought Confusions to the stage back in 1988.

Chorley Old Road United Reform Church was the backdrop for the Alan Ayckbourn production featuring multiple one-act plays.

This particularly perplexing scene is from the first act Mother Figure and features cast members Carol Butcher and Joyce Smith.

Mother Figure centres around harried housewife Lucy who ends up saving her neighbour's marriage be unusual means when she comes to her aid.

The other plays in the show which ran for four days in October were Drinking Companion, Between Mouthfuls, Gosforth's Fete and A Talk in the Park.
