England's famous seducer of other men's wives lays siege to his sister-in-law in the first battle of Alan Ayckbourn's celebrated trilogy The Norman Conquests. In Table Manners, the action occurs in the dining room of Mother's house, where a conventional middle-class family is attempting to have a pleasant country weekend. But they are no match for Norman, the bane of the family, who horrifies everyone by doing exactly as he likes.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Rosalind Ayres as Sarah Kenneth Danziger as Reg Martin Jarvis as Norman Jane Leeves as Annie Christopher Neame as Tom Carolyn Seymour as Ruth
