Synopsis
This zany, hilarious farce was a London hit and won the West End Theatre Best Comedy Award of the year.
At a reunion dinner at a "lesser college" of an "older university" are a number of graduates now in their early forties and mostly in responsible, influential positions.
All starts smoothly with conventional greetings and old boy reminiscences.
As the evening goes on, the facade falls away...|1 woman, 8 men
