It runs for 60 minutes at the Dining Room venue, is suitable for ages 14 and over, and contains strong language. Presented by Don't Think Twice Theatre Company.
Why see this show?
A sharp single-location premise — four strangers at a wedding's worst table — gives this comedy a tight focus and genuine dramatic momentum. Paul Howard's writing credits suggest the dialogue will be worth hearing.
