“WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN, IT’S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.” ~ SIDNEY HOPCROFT

Three couples. Three cocktail parties. Let the social climbing begin! When three very different pairs take turns hosting three hilariously uncomfortable Christmas Eve get-togethers, drink disasters and social catastrophes aren’t far behind. In this wild farce of behind-the-scenes kitchen calamities, tensions are high, fortunes and fates are reversed, and madcap ingenuity ensues. And as anyone who has hosted a party knows, the real comedy always  takes place in the kitchen! 

“A BRILLIANT LITTLE COMEDY OF DOMESTIC MISADVENTURE.” ~ THE NEW YORKER
