The Senior Drama Scholars and Principal’s Award Holders gave two hilarious performances of Mike Leigh’s classic 1970s comedy, Abigail’s Party, on Thursday 2 May.

It was a masterclass in creating comedy from excruciating awkwardness, as two couples and their divorced neighbour bicker, flirt and over-indulge at a suburban drinks party.

There were separate casts for each of the two acts, and it was fascinating to observe the nuances in characterisation that each actor brought to their role.

With a superbly detailed set design, and a soundtrack of Donna Summer and Demis Roussos, this was a hugely entertaining evening of theatre. Congratulations to everyone involved.
