Damsels in Distress is a trilogy of plays by Alan Ayckbourn (1939-)[1]


The original text

The three plays, GamePlan, FlatSpin and RolePlay, were originally performed as a set by the Stephen Joseph Theatre Company (SJT) in 2001 . The plays were written to be performed by the same seven actors using the same set. Although the plays loosely shared some common themes, the three stories were independent of each other and unconnected.
