Twenty years after graduation, six former students return to
their college for a reunion dinner in this late 1970s riotous farce
which takes on the ridiculousness of English propriety. Seeing the
reunion as a chance to escape the tedium of family and working
life, the group seizes the opportunity for drunken buffoonery and
to reminisce about - and relive - their jaunty college days in
stuffy, middle-class, white, male Oxbridge college. In classic
bedroom farce form, the group gets locked into the college
overnight with the much-desired head master's wife and a cabinet
minister. They and their high profile guests are flung into one
embarrassing situation after another as they chase in and out of
multiple bedroom doors, some in their underwear, with
misunderstandings and mistaken identities- all the staples of
classic farce. Frayn's extraordinary repartee raises the genre to
new heights of wit and subtly as the group comedically ponders
their varying degrees of success and the role of predestination and
free-will in their life choices.
