Description
Stephen Febble's weekend with his family is shaping up to be a disaster. With his daughter, her husband and child in tow, he's forced to confront his own world-weary attitude. As the evening wears on and the dinner party gets underway, Stephen's attempts at sarcasm are met with patient tolerance from his wife Virginia.
Michael Palin's first stage play, The Weekend, is a witty exploration of family values that uses humour to tackle some uncomfortable truths.
