About Abigail's Party
Beverly and Laurence are entertaining their new neighbours, Angela and Tony as well as Sue, whose teenage daughter, Abigail, is having a party. Over drinks and small talk, class differences and relationship difficulties emerge.
Directed by Mike Leigh, Abigail's Party leans on a strong ensemble — Alison Steadman, Tim Stern, Janine Duvitski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1977.
