Nat and Gabe are new in town, having recently moved from Strood, the couple accept a dinner invitation from Helene and Sasha. Helene a fiery, impulsive Hungarian, Sasha a serious, stoic chap, keen to move to be near his ex. The evening's guest list is completed by Angie and Marty, the latter an ex member of Bananarama, and the suicidal Danny. Helene and Sasha provide the evening's entertainment screaming at each other and hurling abuse, Nat and Gabe try their best to escape.
Forty five minutes of dry wit, sarcasm, and black humour, the characters were brilliantly drawn. For me, Victoria Hamilton stole the show with her larger then life performance as Helene, but Adeel Akhtar and Eva Birthistle were equally great.
For all the volatility and laugh out loud moments, the highlight of the show had to be the moment where Danny discusses his rather grim thoughts with Gabe, it's a very touching moment, showcasing how good this bunch of actors are.
Superb show. 9/10
