The plot crescendos to two disastrous dinner parties on successive nights, after which the future of all three couples seems in jeopardy…

The all-star cast includes Olivier Award nominated stage and screen actor Nicholas Le Prevost opposite Jenny Seagrove, who has played lead roles in almost every West End playhouse and is best known for her role as ‘QC Jo Mills’ in ITV’s Judge John Deed. Tamzin Outhwaite known for her numerous lead television roles such as ‘Melanie Owen’ in EastEnders and ‘Rebecca Mitchell’ in Hotel Babylon, stars opposite Jason Merrells - one of TV’s most popular actors from roles in Lark Rise to Candleford, Cutting It and Waterloo Road.
