Table Manners

If you know the trilogy that begins with this comedy, you know it’s a show you MUST do! Come out and join the fun.

Picture a dining room table around which are gathered six extended family members. It’s the weekend. And it’s the weekend when Norman, in a loveless marriage with Annie’s sister, has convinced Annie that she deserves a romantic weekend away with him. What could go wrong? Well, the arrival of Annie’s brother, Reg, and his ultra conservative wife, Sarah, sure doesn’t help. Things become complicated when Ruth calls Norman’s wife, Ruth, to tell her what’s up and to insist that she come to the house immediately. Add in the arrival of Tom, the neighbourhood vet who likes Annie but who isn’t very socially competent and, well . . . . you simply have to laugh at the hilarious antics that ensue.

Cast
