Abigail's Party is a play for stage and television, devised and directed in 1977 by Mike Leigh. It is a suburban situation comedy of manners, and a satire on the aspirations and tastes of the new middle class that emerged in Britain in the 1970s. The play developed in lengthy improvisations during which Mike Leigh explored the characters with the actors, but did not always reveal the incidents that would occur during the play. The production opened in April 1977 at the Hampstead Theatre, and returned after its initial run in the summer of 1977, for 104 performances in all. A recording was arranged at the BBC as a Play for Today, produced by Margaret Matheson for BBC Scotland and transmitted in November 1977. (en) Abigail's Party is een toneelstuk van Mike Leigh uit 1977. Het is een satirische komedie, die speelt in de Britse middenklasse in de jaren 70. Het stuk had oorspronkelijk geen script, maar werd gaandeweg tijdens de repetities door de regisseur en de acteurs ontwikkeld aan de hand van improvisatie; een werkwijze die typisch is voor Leigh. Van het toneelstuk is een televisieversie voor de BBC gemaakt in de serie , uitgezonden op 1 november 1977. Deze televisieversie is in feite een registratie van het toneelstuk, zonder verdere aanpassingen, behalve dat Susan hierin door Harriet Reynolds werd gespeeld, een rol die tijdens de première door Thelma Whiteley was vertolkt. Leighs echtgenote Alison Steadman vertolkte het personage Beverly zowel in de theater- als de televisieversie. (nl) |
