In Ivy Compton-Burnett's dark domestic comedy set in the tumultuous Ponsonby household, family dynamics are fraught with tension as tyrannical grandmother Sabine and her equally commanding daughter Hetta vie for control. When John's daughter, France, finishes her debut novel, a decision to publish it under a pseudonym ignites a chain of deceptions, leading to a chaotic and humorous family crisis during a dramatic dinner party. This acclaimed adaptation brings to life Compton-Burnett's masterful satire, showcasing a talented ensemble cast and directed by Liane Aukin.
