The Bradford Players present the iconic comedy Abigail’s Party written by Mike Leigh. Beverly and estate agent husband Laurence are happily ensconced and living the dream in suburbia.

What better way to help out than to invite them all for drinks and titbits!
It’s the ultimate 1970’s comedy of manners as new-found suburban pretensions emerge and social aspirations abound. Sit back and relax as the gin is poured, the cigarettes are lit and Demis Roussos hits the turntable forever and ever. It’s the party to end all parties and you’re all invited!
