Don't Miss Out on Abigail's Party

A Red Orchid Theatre (Wells St. in Old Town) closes its 2009-2010 season with the Midwest premiere of Abigail's Party, written by Mike Leigh and directed by Shade Murray. The production runs now through March 28th. Abigail's Party takes us to a domestic cocktail party gone hysterically and then horribly wrong. In Abigail's Party, Mike Leigh takes the time to expose the obsessions, prejudices and competitiveness of the party-goers. For me, it felt like an updated comedy of manners, satirizing the aspirations and tastes of the bourgeoisie. Although first produced in 1977, its themes, especially of classism, ring true today. I completely understand why the British Film Institute voted its teleplay onto the list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programs.
