Abigail's Party & Goose-pimples

Synopsis

Mike Leigh�s 1970s classic play �Abigail�s Party� focuses on an evening of domestic hell in the guise of a suburban drinks soir�e.

While teenager Abigail parties a few doors away, the pretentious Beverly and her estate agent husband, Laurence, entertain their neighbours � Abigail�s mother, Susan, ex-footballer, Tony, and his wife, Angela.

But as the alcohol flows, tensions in the hosts� barely functional marriage emerge and their obsessions, prejudices and petty competitiveness are ruthlessly, and hilariously, exposed.

�Goose-Pimples�, meanwhile, is easily as sharp and uncompromising.

This time, the action focuses on ambitious casino croupier, Jackie, and Saudi businessman, Muhammad, who meet � and misunderstand � one another spectacularly.
