Laurence and Angela dancing - Huw Higginson and Elizabeth Hppley

Donna Summer is playing on the stereo. Dishes of cheese and pineapple on sticks are on the coffee table.

The gin and tonics are flowing freely and monstrous hostess Beverley is revving up for a soiree with the neighbours.

The scene is set for a little gentle conversation, a spot of dancing - and the relentless embarrassment of the guests as Bev aims to prove she’s the hostess with the mostest.

A ruthlessly accurate and wickedly funny play from the BAFTA-winning Leigh, director of film hits Secrets And Lies and Topsy-Turvy.
