Three
households in Cheshire have agreed to hold a "safari party" - a dinner
party, each course of which is served in a different house. The hors
d'oeuvres are served by Daniel and Adam, young brothers whose abusive
father was recently shot dead, the entrees by Lol and Esther,
upwardly-mobile and vulgar, and deserts by Inga, a seemingly benign
antiques dealer. The three households are linked not just socially,
however: there's the whole question of the table ... The brothers sold it
to Inga, inventing a slightly colourful history for it to increase its
value, and she then re-sold it at a staggering profit - with even more
elaborate storytelling - to Lol and Esther. As the evening progresses, the
many layers of truth about the table, some shocking, are revealed and
violence flares.
