Dinner at Eight

From one of Broadway’s most successful writing duos comes Dinner at Eight, one of the most sophisticated 1930s comedies about the rituals of New York’s elite. A socially obsessed Park Avenue hostess plans the ultimate dinner party to honor visiting English royalty. Caught up in her clever manipulations, she largely ignores the troubles facing her ailing husband and is oblivious to the world crumbling around them. From the time the invitations are sent out to the moment all sit down to dine, her choice of guests provides fascinating and very entertaining entanglements of intrigue and romance.
