Backyard Renaissance presents "Abigail's Party," a play by Mike Leigh and directed by Rosina Reynolds. This darkly comic tale on the outskirts of London in the 1970s has been described as the cocktail party from hell and the gathering gone wrong. About the play: "We’re not here to hold conversations, we are here to enjoy ourselves.” So declares the hostess with the mostest Beverly. A working-class girl in 1970s England completely obsessed with appearances, what’s “in”, and having a good time no matter the cost, Beverly only wants what’s best for everyone as long as what’s best is based on Beverly. With an intimate gathering of neighborhood acquaintances, she mixes the cocktails, stirs the scandals, and shakes the sensibilities of their quiet suburban life with unintended consequences. Join us on opening night on Saturday, February 26 at 8 p.m. at Tenth Avenue Arts Center. You can enjoy the play from February 24 through March 19 on the following schedule: • Previews on Thursday 24 and Friday 25 of February at 8 p.m. • Special Industry Performance on Monday, March 14 at 7 p.m. • Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. • Sundays at 2 p.m. Get tickets here!
