Due to unforeseen circumstances, Domino Theatre cancelled performances for Time of My Life scheduled for Friday, January, 20, and Saturday, January 21. To make up for these cancellations, we have added performances on Wednesday, February 1, and Saturday, February 4, at 7:30 p.m. Ticketholders for the cancelled shows may transfer their tickets to a new date, or elect to receive a refund.
Businessman Gerry Stratton and his wife Laura are at their favourite Italian restaurant to celebrate Laura's birthday with their sons Glyn and Adam and their partners. It's a festive occasion, but there are undercurrents of trouble—with Gerry's business, with the relationships within the family and with the sons' own relationships.

Those issues become more apparent as the dinner progresses, post-dinner drinks arrive, the younger people leave. Then, the action branches out to show us both what happens next and what happened before, in a structural twist that is classic Ayckbourn.
This comedy charts, chats, and chomps its way through the rise and fall of a middle-class family's fortunes and relationships. As we dash through the past, present and future, the play suggests that living in the moment is the best time of all.
Time of My Life had its premiere at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, U.K. in 1992, followed by a 12-week run at London's Vaudeville Theatre in 1993. It was revived at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in 2013.
