More than 100 years ago, Arthur Schnitzler's play La Ronde explored the idea of interlinking the love lives of several couples in a series of connecting scenes.
Now David Eldridge has taken Schnitzler's format and brought it into the present day with Under the Blue Sky, in which we learn about new loves, no loves, and old loves, rather improbably linked together by the fact that the three couples involved are all teachers.
Helen (Lisa Dillon) is clingy, whiny, a posh girl supposedly in love with Chris O'Dowd's unappealing Nick ("You must have wondered why I'm so needy, spending so much time with you" - a line that caused a sharp intake of breath among the women in the audience).
