Title: A week with Tony
Description: In 'A Week With Tony', first performed at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 1996, David Eldridge blends politics, anger and empathy in a wily portrait of the mid-nineties conservative middle class, on the brink of a Labour victory and several personal breakdowns. Amidst the sharply-observed flurry of fundraising garden parties, bubbly-drinking twenty-somethings and high profile wedding invitees, Tony, a struggling computer sales rep with a new partner and a daughter's expensive wedding to fund, is finding it hard to keep up, and the storm is about to break.
