ABIGAIL'S PARTY

UK / BBC / 1x70m-e / 1977

Creator & Director: Mike Leigh /Producer: Margaret Matheson

Improvised drama. Beverley's intimate dinner party doesn't turn out as she anticipated. Abigail doesn't actually appear, she's a teenager holding her own party down the street. An absolute classic of would be bourgeois life, Abigail is desperate to appear as the perfect hostess but doesn't realise how irritating she is. Beverly and Laurence lived at 13 Richmond Road North London and in real life Alison Steadman and director Mike Leigh were a couple.
