This rarely-performed Alan Ayckbourn play was partly inspired by the Great Train Robbery of 1963, which made tawdry folk heroes of Ronnie Biggs and Buster Edwards while train driver Jack Mills is hardly remembered.

Written in 1988, it deals with the media and our obsession with celebrity.

After doing his time in jail, bank robber Vic Parks writes a best-selling memoir. He hosts a TV show and lives an idyllic sun, sea and sangria lifestyle in a luxury Spanish villa.

When a film crew arrives he finds himself reunited with Douglas Beechey, the bank cashier who attempted to thwart the robbery.

Presenter Jill Rillington does everything she can to goad Beechey into revealing his resentment, but Parks may get his comeuppance from a more unlikely source.

Director Mary Jones's passion for Ayckbourn shines through in this production, but her job is made easier by lead actors Angela Armstrong (Trudy), Karen Gordon (Jill), Adam Jones (Beechey), and Phil Norman (Parks).

Set design and lighting combine to give that Spanish contrast of terra cotta buildings and cloudless blue sky.

Switching from farcical to darkly humorous, Man Of the Moment may not make the comedy headlines, but it certainly has its moments.
