"Laurence, if you like olives, would you get them out please?"

It's the 1970s. Beverley is hosting a ‘soirée' for her suburban neighbours. One guest, Susan, has a teenage daughter Abigail who is having a party of her own across the street.

Olives, cheesy pineapples and G&Ts abound but as the evening progresses, the surface civility descends into pandemonium. Mike Leigh's iconic comedy is a timeless play about unhappy marriages and social aspirations. Conflicting cultural tastes illustrate the fundamental tensions amongst the characters.

At times hilarious and at others excruciating, this nightmarish drinks party will leave a lasting impression!

This amateur production of "Abigail's Party" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
