Confusions is a set of five interlinked one act comedy plays written by Alan Ayckbourn.
Each play deals riotously, but with sharp pointed undertones, with human eccentricities and the human dilemma of loneliness: a mother unable to escape from baby talk, a disastrous fete, an unsuccessful seduction attempt, a fate fraught dinner encounter - the final play sums up with five self- immolated characters on park benches.
