Beschreibung

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.
