Dinner
by Moira Buffini
An artist, a scientist, a politician and a news-babe are coming to dinner.
Their hostess has prepared a feast to celebrate the publication of her husband's latest pop-psychology best-seller, but the unsuspecting guests are about to witness a devastating game of marital one-upmanship.
As fog surrounds the house and a mysterious stranger appears, an evening of surreal dishes, poisonous undercurrents and plentiful alcohol descends into the dinner party from hell.
"A cracking black comedy that has you laughing uproariously one minute and jumping with shock the next" (The Telegraph, London)
