In this excerpt from a 1990 interview with Bernard F.Dukore for his book Alan Ayckbourn: A Casebook, theprolific playwright talks about the genesis of TakingSteps.

was looking to write a farce, that was the firstthing. I had a story which I thought was quitefun. And I had a situation, originally, that I alsothought was quite fun, about a man whose

wife had left him a note and she’s the only one whocan read it. That was the germ of it. Then out of thatcame Tristram and his little speech. I was also explor-ing the running gags, which go all the way through. Itwas one of the hardest plays ever to write. The flawscame reasonably late. I thought I still needed some-thing visual for this play, something that keeps the au-diences’ eyes open as well as their ears. I remembercasting my mind back to How the Other Half Lovesand saying, “I can’t use that.” But then I came to thinkof the three floors, which had great potential. I need-ed it, it came out of a demand. I needed a bedroomfor Kitty. I needed a bedroom for Roland. I thought,“I can’t get all these damned things on this stage,there’s no room. I can’t build floors because this the-atre [the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough] inthe round wouldn’t take them.” So then I said, “GoodGod!” And then I thought, “Oh, to hell with it, theycouldn’t follow this.” And then I thought of How theOther Half Loves, and about how audiences do followthings provided you present them logically. So thefirst ten minutes of Taking Steps has to do with tellingpeople the geography of the house. I made sure aman went up to the attic with a suitcase and camedown again, he talked, and then he went downstairs.The audience laughs although the whole thing is non-sense. This required the audience to be extremely in-telligent, and what is encouraging is that they’re a bitlike children. The less you insult their intelligence themore intelligent audiences tend to become. They cantake in quite boggling concepts occasionally. If youstood in the foyer and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Iwant to explain tonight that we’re going to be doingsome three floors and you have to imagine,“ theywould probably turn around and put their tickets inand say, “This is too much for me. I want to go some-where quiet and drink.” But having got in there andhaving been presented with it, they’re very happy toplay with the concept.

In his preface to Taking Steps, Ayckbourn dividesplays into three categories:

irst, there is the drama or straight play whichis usually rather short on humor but filledwith Insights and other Serious Things and isthus, when successful, regarded as a Very

Good Thing to See. Comedies, on the other hand, arestraight plays with a sense of humor, saying much thesame thing only more enjoyably and therefore to awider audience. A very few comedies can occasionallyachieve the Very Good Thing category, but generallyonly if (a) the director has removed all the humor fromit by playing it with funereal solemnity or (b) the au-thor is long dead, foreign, or preferably both. Thirdly,there are farces which set out to be — and often are —funnier than comedies, though to achieve this, the au-thor has necessarily had to jettison […] Serious Things.Good farce explores the extreme reaches of the credi-ble and the likely by its own immaculate internal logicand at best leaves its audience only at the end wonder-ing how on earth they came to be where they are now.[…] For me, farce begins when I feel that I am nowleading an audience into realms beyond the laws ofhuman probability.
