ABIGAIL’S PARTY
BY MIKE LEIGH
In our stunning theatre on the Two Sisters’ Lawn, there is going to be a party that may make you squirm, but you won’t want to miss…
Mike Leigh’s tragicomic masterpiece ABIGAIL’S PARTY has garnered cult status across the decades.
At the height of 1970s suburbia, social class and ambition, Beverly Moss, the Hostess with the Mostess, is inviting you to her cocktail party. The latest tracks are on the record player, the drinks are flowing and there’s even a bowl of olives – although it seems that only Laurence likes those. As the night moves on and the party gets thick with sexual tension, Beverly’s exclusive gathering quickly descends into chaos.
First performed on stage and then broadcast as a BBC Play for Today in 1977. This epic modern classic with characters and uncomfortable situations that feel as relevant today as they did almost 50 years ago, is our first co-production with Edenbridge Players.
