This well-known and popular play is a suburban situation comedy of manners, and satire on the aspirations and tastes of the ‘new’ middle class that emerged in Britain in the 1970’s. 

Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Grimsby

Written by Mike Leigh

Directed by Debbie Shepherd

Opens Saturday 25 April through to Saturday 2 May 2026

Set in the London-side of Essex (theoretical Romford), Beverley Moss invites her new neighbours, Angela and Tony, over for drinks.  They moved into the road just two weeks ago.  She has also invited her neighbour Sue, a divorcee, whose fifteen-year-old daughter Abigail is also holding a party back at their home. Beverley’s husband Laurence is typically late home from work and the ‘gathering’ starts off in stiff fashion as the virtual strangers tentatively get to know each other.  As the ‘hostess with the mostest’ Beverley endeavours to keep the drinks flowing. The alcohol takes effect on the evening.  Sniping, flirting, naivety and too much stress is a cocktail for disaster as the play concludes.
