One of the best examples of the BBC single play’ from the days when TV aspired to be like theatre rather than film. Very much a precursor of cringe comedy, like The Office, full of awkward moments. Would be a great episode of Inside Number 9! Alison Steadman is a standout as Beverley, but all the cast are great

Well of course many attempts has been made in the theatre to recreate The Orginal Abigail's Party, Not a chance in hell, Alison Steadman is the greatest, no one now or Ever will make it work. Some things should be held in the respect, and anyone attempting This play should be sent to moon and left there. Something's should never be messed with, and Abigail's Party 1977.is one such treasure to be worshipped for the history of this truly wonderful work of art.

Alison Steadman is sublime as the Hostess from Hell, with perfect support from the cast....hilarious and engaging, something to watch on a summer's evening or a winter's night...I cannot recommend it enough.

A classic 70s play by Mike Leigh=disturbing, funny, sad and immensely touching. Superb acting and timing throughout. A masterpiece of British play writing.
