Abigail’s Party

By Mike Leigh
Directed by Jack Bradfield

Beverly, the queen of suburbia, is hosting a cocktail party. Next door, 15-year-old Abigail is throwing a party of her own. No one can stop talking about Abigail’s Party. No one can stop thinking about Abigail’s Party.

Something must be done about Abigail’s Party.

Welcome to Mike Leigh’s cult classic comedy, and prepare to see it like never before. This is the party to end all parties, and you’re all invited. RSVP.
