Synopsis:
The premise of The Dinner Party is simple enough: six people have been invited, unbeknownst to one another, to dine in an elegant private room in an exclusive Parisian restaurant. They arrive one at a time, encountering each other in pairs and trios, until at last they start to detect the pattern that explains why they're there. It turns out that they are all divorced couples. They've been brought together to look backward--and forward--at their damaged relationships. Will--or perhaps more to the point, can--any or all of them reconcile?

Settling Accounts; Going home; The Man On The Floor; Diana and Sydney

Synopsis:
Four hilarious one-act comedies set in a posh London hotel: In Settling Accounts, the suite is occupied by an inebriated Welsh writer who is holding his long time business manager - caught absconding with the writer's money - at gun point . An American widow and her daughter then take over the suite in Going Home. At the daughter's insistence, mother spends her last evening in London with a rich Scotsman. The hotel guests in The Man on the Floor are a married couple from New York who have lost their tickets to Wimbledon and are about to lose their suite to Kevin Costner who absolutely must have it now. The evening ends on a funny, bittersweet note with Diana and Sidney, another chapter in the lives of two characters from California Suite. Diana, the Oscar winning actress, and Sidney, her bisexual husband, are now divorced and are seeing each other for the first time in years. He needs money for his lover who is dying of cancer. The money is not a problem for Diana, but the realization that she still loves this man is.

Synopsis:
This renowned comedy begins with a group of the boys meeting to play cards in the apartment of a divorced fellow - and if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is another fellow who, they learn, has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very meticulous and tense, they fear he might commit suicide, and so go about locking all the windows. When he arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As life would have it, the slob bachelor and the meticulous fellow decide to bunk together with hilarious results. The patterns of their own disastrous marriages begin to reappear in this arrangement; and so this too must end.
