It's the night before Meg's wedding. She and her bridesmaids are planning to kick up their heels as the final hours before the big day tick down. However not everything goes according to plan as a last minute scandal threatens to ruin the whole affair. Elizabeth Coleman's delightful characters bring this seriously funny play to life. Never far from reality, Secret Bridesmaids' Business exposes the insanity that can be created as the wedding juggernaut threatens to swerve out of control. Marriage may be a wonderful thing, but after a night like this, well, could it really be worth it?

Ron Patterson has 111 minutes to live, so he decides to invite the kids around for sausage rolls, salads and a bit of quality time. As he attempts to tie up the loose ends of his life, all the juicy neuroses of this very dysfunctional family come out of the closet, and his well planned last party starts to unravel. It's My Party (And I'll Die If I Want To) is an excellent black comedy that keeps the surprises coming until the very end.
