Mike Leigh – Abigail’s Party – First Publication 1979
£185.00
First publication of the play published by Samuel French, London, 1979 in soft covers. Signed and dated by a previous owner in blue ink to the title page, with slight browning to the front and rear panel, fading to the spine.
“Abigail’s Party” is a British play by Mike Leigh, premiered in 1977. Set in a suburban living room, it explores the dynamics of middle-class manners during a disastrous cocktail party hosted by Beverly and her husband. The evening unravels as tensions rise, revealing underlying insecurities and societal pretences. Leigh’s razor-sharp dialogue and keen observation of human behaviour create a darkly comedic portrayal of social aspirations and interpersonal conflicts amidst suburban banality.
