It was the final Ayckbourn play to be premi red at the Stephen Joseph Theatre s old Westwood site. It is about a vicar, who is tempted by the devil Valda Valder offering a sponsorship deal for dubious return favours. This play was one of Ayckbourn s less successful works, but the production was marred most of all by the death of a member of the cast, Sophie Winter, who collapsed the afternoon before the final Scarborough performance and died the day. As a respected member of the company, a memorial was made to her in the theatre, and a trust in her name was set up to sponsor new plays at the Stephen Joseph Theatre between 1996 and 2008.

No Wordfrom Gurb original in Spanish Sin noticias de Gurb was written by Spanish people Spanish writer Eduardo Mendoza Ceballos Eduardo Mendoza and published as a novel in 1990 . However, it originally appeared in the Spanish national newspaper El Pa s in regular installments. The story is about an alien who is lost in Barcelona whilst in search of his friend Gurb. Through taking on the appearances of various people, including the famous Spanish singer Marta S nchez , he explores the city observing human life. The book is in the style of a diary, so the reader is taken day by day along the same journey with the alien, as he discovers more and more about the human race. The story begins with the narrator talking about his ideas and aims of travelling to Earth and adapting to the lifestyle there. Through writing this book, Mendoza captures an image of Barcelona as it is preparing for the 1992 Summer Olympics Olympics in 1992 . The atmospehere at that time, along with the chaos and absurdities of modern human life, are among the subjects that are focused on in this Satire satirical novel. As a parody , No Wordfrom Gurb depicts the day to day life of the city from the perspective of an alien. The author focuses in particular on portraying the urban lifestyle of humans using Barcelona as a great example of a big city. Parody is a feature that is present throughout the book, an example of which is when the alien describes the composition of water as hydrogen, oxygen and poo . Throughout his search for his friend Gurb, the alien criticises the behaviour of human beings and realises that there are many differences between his culture and that of humans. For example, although he doesn t understand why, he notes that there are class divisions on Earth there are rich and poor areas of Barcelona, like San Cosme and Pedralbes. Furthermore, he criticises the chaos regarding the upcoming ... often goes. They are a friendly and hard working, elderly couple who are suffering from health ... more details
