You may have heard of the expression A Comedy of Manners, well this play, set in the 1920’s is a comedy of bad manners. In their country house, David Bliss, a novelist and Judith Bliss, a retired actress, have each invited a guest to stay for the weekend. However, unbeknown to them, their high spirited children, Simon and Sorel , have also invited guests of their own. The houseful of mismatched personalities sets the scene for this argumentative, self absorbed family to humiliate and ignore their guests. This leads to high jinks and chaos. Written with Noel Coward’s famous wry wit.
