ARCHIVE FROM 2012: Mike Leigh’s classic play Abigail’s Party replaced The King’s Speech at the Wyndham’s Theatre in London’s West End from 15 May in 2012. The production starred Jill Halfpenny (EastEnders) as Beverly Moss – the “brutal hostess with shoulders like a lifeguard and a walk to match” – and came from the Menier Theatre where it was in March of that year.The satire on the aspirations of the 1970s British middle class originally starred Alison Steadman as hostess from hell Beverly. Set at a suburban dinner party, which slowly unravels, Abigail’s Party was written by Mike Leigh for stage and screen in 1977 and is perhaps his best-known television work.
Other stand-out members of this small but perfectly formed cast included Joe Absolom who played Tony, Natalie Casey was Angela and Susannah Harker played Sue.
