Excellent

Cringe comedy at its absolute best. Tamzin Outhwaite is superb as Beverly and the whole cast had the audience wincing and laughing in equal measure. The 1970s set is a joy

Excellent

So sharply observed and genuinely funny. It builds beautifully from awkward small talk to something much darker and you cannot look away. A brilliant night at the theatre

Very good

A cult classic done really well. The period detail is spot on and the passive aggression is painfully believable. Great fun with a proper sting in the tail
