Abigail's Party
Author(s):
Mike Leigh
Suburbanites Laurence and Beverly are entertaining their new neighbors Angela and Tony as well as Susan, whose teenage daughter is having at party at which her mother is
less than welcome. Over drinks and snacks, good-will, cliches and fatuous small talk abound. Tension escalates as a sense of marital strain between Beverly and Laurence
emerges, Susan's anxiety as to what is happening at her daughter's party skyrockets (increasingly evident as rock music penetrates the room), and Beverly and Angela
offer some supremely tactless remarks. Horrific reality breaks into their smug world as Laurence has a fatal heart attack.
