Absent Friends

Absent Friends at Harold Pinter Theatre

Why see Absent Friends?

Welcome to a tea party you'll never forget, as Alan Ayckbourn's classic comedy of manners and social embarrassment serves up a slice of deliciously black humour in the West End this January.

When Colin loses his fiancée, his married friends invite him round for comfort over tea and sandwiches. But as the tea starts to pour, it's clear that trouble is brewing with a wickedly funny blend of jealousy, infidelity and barely concealed loathing. And as the tension starts to boil, perhaps Colin isn't the one who needs help... with friends like these, who needs enemies?
