Abigail's Party & Goose-Pimples

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.
