George and Margaret

About the show

The play portrays a day in the lives of a middle-class London family and their servants. They are thrown into chaos by the suddenly announced arrival of their old friends George and Margaret for dinner that evening. The snobbish and domineering mother forces all family members to attend, despite the resentment of her children. However, the anticipated arrival eventually provides a catalyst for various members of the family to resolve their personal crises. The play ends without the title characters George and Margaret ever having appeared on stage.
