A brand new comedy for the Abbey Theatre by the writer of About Adam and Ordinary Decent Criminal
Irish builder and paid up Golden Circle member Noel and his wife May throw a dinner party for their dodgy but plausible English colleagues Julian and June in Dublin. The dinner party is unforgettable - for all the wrong reasons. Years later Julian and June are forced to return the compliment in London. A lot has changed - for better or worse
