About Company
Set in New York, 'Company' follows Robert, a 35 year old bachelor and his dysfunctional married friends. The relationships are presented in a series of vignettes, mainly through Bobby's eyes, to portray the less than ideal aspects of commitment. Eventually Robert learns that whilst no relationship is perfect, it is a necessary part of 'Being Alive'. 'Company' discusses the themes of age, love and loneliness with the comic undercutting, wit and pathos audiences have learnt to expect from Sondheim's work.
