After Dinner

A suburban pub bistro on Friday night. Three office workers: Dympie, who needs to control everything; Paula, who lets her; and the recently widowed Monika, are desperately seeking a good night out. At an adjoining table sit Gordon, recently abandoned by his wife, and Stephen, looking for something more than the usual one-night stand. As the night proceeds, inhibitions and social restraint are abandoned, exposing the foibles, pain and humour of the characters' inner lives. It is an acutely observed but tender-hearted account of relationships and behaviour.
