O que o próprio Sir Alan Ayckbourn tem a dizer sobre a peça?

“Plays like Relatively Speaking are continually knotting and unknotting. There’s never a moment when somebody isn’t discovering or about to discover something.”

(Personal correspondence)

"The launch of my play Relatively Speaking in 1967 in London's West End, when I was still under 30 [was my big break]. It came a the right time: it was a French window play at a period when most plays were set around kitchen sinks. I think the critics breathed a collective sigh of relief: instead of dirty dishes and angry northerners they had shiny southerners having breakfast in the sunshine."

(The Guardian, 5 October 2010)

“I tend to wince even now when people say - thirty four [currently 75 as of 2011] plays later - that this is still the best thing I've written.”
