Prejudice and Persuasion
Henry is not keen to celebrate his 50th birthday, but Vera has organised a surprise party. Stars Miriam Margolyes. From 2018.
Henry is preparing for a lecture tour of America and is desperately trying to persuade Vera to accompany him. But first he must negotiate his 50th birthday.
He is hoping to ignore it, but Vera has organised one of those vulgar Surprise Parties and everybody will be there - Lytton, Barrington, Hilda, DH Lollipop, his wife, Frieda and Venus, who sneaks in without an invitation and makes a nuisance of herself in the bushes.
By the end of the party a seven week lecture tour in America seems quite appealing.
