Oliver and Isabel, middle-aged and middle-class, must host the perfect dinner tonight as the guest of honour is Oliver’s boss, and Oliver’s promotion depends on the success of this evening. Surely nothing can upset their plans?
Except... possibly... the clash of their personalities, her ambition, his ineptitude, mutual jealousies, the strain of holding a marriage together and keeping up appearances, the shattered dreams, and the general lack of poetry in modern life, all explored hilariously in this fast-paced roller coaster of a comedy.
