The Hamburg Players present: The Dining Room by A. R. Gurney

Sarah, a cool teenager, steals her mother’s liquor in the dining room to impress her friend Helen, and the boys who are coming to visit. Paul and Margery can be found flirting under the old dining table instead of trying to repair it. Peggy and Ted try to discuss their blossoming affair with interruptions from a very noisy and chaotic children’s birthday party. Hilarious stories takes place in the dining room where eight actors each play up to ten different roles as ridiculous dinner party guests and family.

A. R Gurney’s comedy about American, old-fashioned W.A.S.P, upper-middle class values is guaranteed to make the laughter last throughout the entire performance as each separate story overlaps with the next sketch. Actors put on their party hats to play games as seven year-old children and take them off again to play elderly grandparents. Maids serve breakfast to wealthy families during the Depression and then change into the wealthy career women of today within seconds. Nothing is fixed forever in the dining room and each change of scene brings a fresh burst of laughter with it.

“…hilarious and touching…as comic sketch crazily succeeds comic sketch a whole pattern of American life emerges…” New York Post

Directed by Marinder Gill
