Synopsis

The action takes place in the house of the Bliss Family over the course of a weekend. Judith Bliss, a retired actress, her writer husband David, and their grown-up children Simon and Sorel, have already privately invited guests for the weekend, unbeknownst to anyone else. As the guests arrive, it becomes clear that it is not them with the problem, but the family themselves. Although Judith has supposedly retired from stage, the nightmare weekend becomes her own private play, and her family become the supporting actors. Over the top and theatrical in their actions, the Bliss Family delight in winding each other up and provoking a dramatic reaction from each other. As the weekend wears on, each guest pairs off with the wrong person with dramatic effects.
