Dinner is the unfolding of a dramatic dinner party from hell, hosted by Paige in honour of her philosopher husbands new book.
This play is extremely funny and innovative. Buffini explores the vacuity and consumerist nature of the rich in a humorous and hyperbolic way. Each character made me want to cringe at least every ten seconds as well as carrying an off weight of philosophical arguments, a revenge plot and the drama of illicit affairs. Honestly trying to explain it is a hot mess but it is 12am and I haven’t slept so that’s on me. While I enjoyed the plot I do feel that it wasn’t shockingly special (I did already know the ending too which didn’t help) however I am so excited to see this on stage as there is so much performative potential!
The 3* is provisional i will reassess post seeing it :))
