Joking Apart is packed taut with observations of human foibles, teasing and toying with the audience. Gently nudging the mood from languor to frenzy and back again as relationships are imperceptibly intertwined. Played out in a back garden over a 12-year period, a near-perfect couple play host to a smug Scandinavian couple, a hesitant hungry Vicar, a neglected girlfriend, an aging lothario and a neurotic housewife.
