Review Roundup: Nadia Falls's ABIGAIL'S PARTY Lands In The West End
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Aug 20, 2026

Essex, 1977. Beverly is hosting, the alcohol is flowing, Demis Roussos is on the record player and the cheese and pineapple cocktail sticks are ready to go. Queen of the castle in her suburban semi, Beverly and husband Laurence welcome new neighbours Angela and Tony round for drinks. Sue from next door is invited too but the real party is happening back at her place, as Sue's teenage daughter Abigail can't seem to keep the racket down. Awkward small talk quickly descends into inappropriate flirtation and marital disputes: a soiree from hell, but it'd be rude to leave. What did the critics think?

Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Starring Tamzin Outhwaite, Harold Pinter Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Aug 20, 2026

Nadia Fall is now firmly ensconced in her role as Artistic Director of the Young Vic, but her final show at Stratford East back in 2024 was a brilliantly realised revival of Mike Leigh's seminal work, Abigail's Party. Now having a much-deserved West End transfer, it lands on the Harold Pinter stage in all its excruciating glory.

Review: ENTERTAINING MR SLOANE, Young Vic
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 25, 2025

There’s a lot of pressure on an Artistic Director’s first production at a new venue, especially if they’re directing it themselves. Nadia Fall kicks off her tenure leading the Young Vic with a revival of a classic Joe Orton play, promising ‘seduction and devilish wit.’ But could this show seduce its audience?

Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Stratford East
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 13, 2024

The Seventies were a time for cheesy pineapple, bellbottom jeans, Elton John, and ABBA. Written in 1977, Mike Leigh’s darkly comic picture of the English middle class turns out to be an evergreen classic. Revived some ten miles from the story’s real-life setting, this is Nadia Fall’s last show as Artistic Director of the venue and features known ‘EastEnder’ Tamzin Outhwaite as Beverly Moss.
