Colin is the deputy principal of a local high school who reluctantly applies for the principal's job on the latter's retirement. Having taken up jogging to combat a spreading waistline, he meets Judy, a relationship that gradually becomes an affair. Colin's wife, Elizabeth arranges a dinner party and unknowingly invites Colin's mistress and as the wine bottles empty and polite conversation disintegrates, regrets and revelations spill over.

PLAYWRIGHT: Roger Hall (b. Essex, England, 1939) is described as the most successful playwright of his generation. He writes comedies with a serious vein of social criticism and a feeling of pathos running through them. Hall's best-known works internationally are Middle Age Spread (1978, revised 1980), which had a run in the West End
