Mike Leigh’s iconic black comedy ABIGAIL'S PARTY has a new tour opening at Theatre Royal, Winchester on 1 March 2023, with recently confirmed dates at Cambridge Arts Centre from 21 – 25 March before touring to a further nineteen venues across the country, concluding in Wales at Venue Cymru on 15 July. 

In her suburban living room, Beverly prepares for the arrival of her guests. She and husband Laurence will play host to neighbours Angela, Tony and Susan. As the alcohol flows and the ‘nibbles’ are handed around, Mike Leigh’s ruthless, achingly funny examination of 1970’s British life begins…

ABIGAIL'S PARTY has been earning rave reviews:

Broadway World: "remains as engaging, interesting and relevant as ever" and " a thoroughly enjoyable and truly affecting night out."

Theatre and Art Reviews: "Director Michael Cabot brings together comedy, tempers, and strong sexual tension to the stage through the excellent cast of five."

Winchester Today: "You really couldn’t ask for a finer ensemble cast than the one assembled here."

In Common Southampton: "Such a joy to watch, I wanted to get up and join the party. This is a must see."

Tickets for the tour can be found here.
