Abigail's Party

Beverly and her estate agent husband Laurence are entertaining their new neighbours – nurse Angela and ex-footballer Tony. Joining them is Susan, who’s been banished from her teenage daughter Abigail’s party.

Gradually this polite drinks and nibbles soirée descends into domestic anarchy. Tensions in the hosts’ barely functional marriage emerge and their obsessions, prejudices and petty competitiveness are ruthlessly and hilariously exposed.

An enduring and painfully funny dissection of 1970s social suburbia, peppered with leather sofas, Bacardi and Cokes, cheesy-pineapples and Demis Roussos.

Abigail’s Party will be a fresh, brand new production of the iconic play by award-winning director, playwright and film-maker Mike Leigh (Secrets and Lies, Mr Turner and Vera Drake).
