According to their official website, the Menier Chocolate Factory production of Abigail's Party will be led by Jill Halfpenny, who won an Olivier Award in 2011 for her role as Paulette in Legally Blonde. Jill is also well known for her TV roles on EastEnders, Waterloo Road and Blue Murder. 

The show will be directed by Lindsay Posner and will run March 2 through April 21.

In 1970's suburbia, Berverly and her husband Laurence are hosting a drinks party for their neighbours. There is plenty of alcohol, an array of cheese-pineapple savoury bites and olives, and Demis Roussos on the record player. But as prejudices are unmasked and tempers flare, the evening seems headed for disaster...

Mike Leigh's classic comedy is directed by Lindsay Posner, who recently directed Noises Off at the Old Vic. Other credits include: Butley (Duchess), A View from the Bridge (Duke of York's - Olivier nomination) and Fiddler on the Roof (Savoy - Olivier nomination).
