Reviewed on Monday 9th June 2014

Things We Do For Love contains all the necessary ingredients of a hysterical Alan Ayckbourn play. Set in South West London, immaculate Barbara lives on the middle floor of her converted house which is where most of the action unfolds. Gilbert, the postman and resident handyman, lives in the flat downstairs, with the clever design allowing the audience to just see the top few inches of his home.

Natalie Imbruglia to make stage debut in Alan Ayckbourn's Things We Do For Love at the Theatre Royal Bath, prior to UK Tour

It has been announced that Natalie Imbruglia will make her stage debut in Alan Ayckbourn's Things We Do For Love at the Theatre Royal Bath.

Directed by Laurence Boswell, the production will run between 16th-26th April 2014 prior to a UK Tour (details of which to be announced). Imbruglia will play Nikki Wickstead, the victim of a classic Ayckbourn love triangle.

Imbruglia began her career on Neighbours playing Beth Brennan. She went on to become one of the biggest pop sensations in Europe. Her smash hit single Torn, and the subsequent album, Left Of The Middle, sold more than 6 million copies worldwide and won her three Grammy nominations and two Brit Awards. She co-starred in the 2003 film Johnny English with Rowan Atkinson and made her leading actress debut in the 2009 film Closed for Winter.

Imbruglia appeared as a Guest Judge on X Factor UK in 2010 while Dannii Minogue was on maternity leave and later returned to assist her during the Judges Houses stage of the competition. She has also appeared as a regular judge on X Factor Australia.
