Instead of Chekhov’s gun, we have Maxwell’s whisky. The bottle of Japanese spirits shows up early in Douglas Maxwell’s comedy of social awkwardness and at some point someone is going to pull the stopper out.
What is surprising is how it happens. So Young shows every sign of heading for an implosion, a front-room breakdown like that of Abigail’s Party or something by Alan Ayckbourn. Long-time married couple Liane (Lucianne McEvoy) and Davie (Andy Clark) have turned out for an evening with their old pal Milo (Nicholas Karimi), ready to commiserate with him soon after his wife’s death, only to find he has already hooked up with someone new. They are shocked and embarrassed. It gets worse.
