How the other half loves

by Alan Ayckbourn

In this suburban trio of married couples, one couple is at the top of the social ladder. One of the other couples is attractive and upcoming, despite the fact that she is an utter slob and he is a boor; and the third pair is socially hopeless but earnest. The action takes place at two dinner parties given on consecutive nights. The single set, representing two living-rooms, is almost a character itself.
