Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Olivier Award for Best
New Comedy, this ruthlessly comic study of middle class parenting by
the author of Art is one of the most successful plays ever in the
history of the West End.
When eleven-year-old Ferdinand hits eleven-year-old Bruno with a
stick in a playground punch-up and knocks out two of his teeth, the
combatants’ enlightened parents decide to meet to talk things over
civilly. But once the niceties are done with and the drink starts
flowing, it is the parents who turn into spoiled brats.
