The Dining Room
1984, English. Directed by Allan A. Goldstein.
A comedy of manners
Six actors play over 50 characters across 18 scenes from different families that overlap and intertwine in a single dining room. Set in a typical well-to-do household, the mosaic of interrelated scenes - some funny, some touching, some rueful - create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP.
