“Marriage is a serious business.”
Three respectable Northern couples were all married in the same ceremony by the same parson. Now they gather to celebrate their joint twenty-fifth wedding anniversary with ‘a bit of a do’; but the foundations of their lives, their social standing and their very identities are threatened by an earthquake of revelation.
J B Priestley’s classic ‘Yorkshire farcical comedy’ has been delighting audiences since its first performances in 1938. Not only does it present dialogue that still rings hilariously true, but it holds an acutely observant, sometimes uncomfortable, mirror up to society, with all its complacency, arrogance and misplaced certainty.
