About this show
The whole family gathers to celebrate Katherine’s birthday; her husband, her kids, her best friends and her brother-in-law. Her lovely, stress-free evening seems to be going exactly to plan, until her brother arrives – it would seem he did not make the invite list. He barges his way through her ineffectual husband, with the assistance of her enthusiastic children and autocratic brother-in-law and finds himself in the midst of a dinner party he ought not attend.

Powerful. Rufus Goodman’s script is bold and hard-hitting, showing a flair for dialogue and the clever use of humour to relieve the mounting stress of the action.
— All Edinburgh Theatre (4 out of 5 stars)
3.5 Stars. The strength of the performances elevates this to a far more watchable experience than that of many fringe shows with more complex writing.
