About the play:

​

Brother and sister Martin and Hilda Massie live together, leading a quiet, Christian existence

in the confines of the Bluebell Hill Development. Just as they are preparing for a housewarming

gathering, their peace is shattered by a young trespasser in their garden. The Massies'  neighbours congregate in their living room and together they agree to form a neighbourhood watch group

to safeguard against further incidents. But after the Massies' beloved garden gnome, Monty,

is thrown through their window, matters swiftly escalate as the group becomes out of control,

morphing into a paramilitary force, eager to control the lives of the very people they are supposed

to protect.

This is an hilarious look at the effects of power on an apparently sane and respectable group of middle class neighbours!                 

Neighbourhood Watch is dark, comical, disturbing, sharply satirical  as only Ayckbourn can be!

Ayckbourn at his best.
