WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Neil Simon?s The Dinner Party takes place in a gourmet restaurant in Paris, where two tuxedoed strangers arrive for a dinner party thrown by a well-connected divorce lawyer. Enter a third man unknown to the two, and the circumstances get more bizarre by the second. What ensues is a social hell of all-you-can-eat crow where the guests are swallowing pride as fast as they can serve each other heaping portions of humble pie. Television icons head Jon Lovitz and Larry Miller head a stellar cast that also includes Len Cariou and Veanne Cox. John Rando directs.

Now, however, the fight seems more intellectual than emotional.
