Pull up a chair and brace yourself for a weekend of simmering tensions, romantic misfires, and laugh-out-loud chaos. In Alan Ayckbourn’s Table Manners, the dining room becomes ground zero for sibling squabbles, marital mayhem, and one man’s misguided quest for affection.

Norman just wants to make everyone happy—especially the women. But when he sets his sights on his sister-in-law, the family’s fragile civility begins to unravel faster than the roast. Over three riotous acts, Ayckbourn serves up biting wit, tangled relationships, and a feast of awkward moments that will leave you cringing, chuckling, and craving more.

Whether you’ve survived your own family dinner drama or just enjoy watching others squirm, Table Manners is a sharply observed comedy that proves good manners are no match for bad behavior.
