Synopsis

A videotaped version of a Mike Leigh stage play that is one of his most scathing and extreme works, aptly described by one commentator as a “cocktail party from hell.” A highly insensitive, aggressive, and garish housewife, Beverly Moss, “entertains” three neighbors while bickering with her husband.
