THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF 40TH MIKE LEIGH'S CLASSIC PLAY -
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION FROM THE PLAYWRITE. Forty years on from its
first performance at the Hampstead Theatre and original screening
on BBC1 soon after, Mike Leigh's Abigail's Party - telling of two
marriages spectacularly unravelling at an awkward neighbourhood
drinks party - remains a pinnacle of British theatre. Here is the
original script, complete with a new introduction by Mike Leigh
describing the play's unlikely genesis, how it came to be made and
where he believes it fits within his oeuvre as one of the country's
leading writers and directors. 'The play came from my intuitive
sense of the spirit and the flavour of the times, and from a
growing personal fear of, and frustration with the suburban
existence' Mike Leigh, from his new introduction 'Leigh's play
isn't simply about marriage and Essex, but also about the unhappy
state of the realm' Guardian
