Further details
Meanwhile, preparations are in full swing for a dinner party, and dad agrees to let Ben crack some eggs - which is a huge mistake.
As the guests arrive, Ben gets his first taste of gin and mum gets some unwelcome news from Angela. The drink soon loosens some tongues, and things are said that can never be taken back. The dinner party becomes a disaster zone, and, this time, the parents can't blame any of it on the kids!

Press
The golden-haired Karen (Ramona Marquez) sounds like a high-court judge with a speech impediment. She poses questions that would floor Pythagoras - "Do you believe in God?" "Do foxes go to heaven?" "Are atoms made out of atoms?" - with great solemnity, insistence and incoherence. All of which, being a liberal, honest, besotted man, her father tries to answer logically.
