Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Dinner With Friends is a skilful observation of a long-standing relationship between two married couples and the effect on both when one couple splits up mid-life. Karen and Gabe, international food writers, introduced Tom and Beth to each other years ago during one of their annual holidays on Martha’s Vineyard. During a dinner at home with Beth, they learn that Tom has left her for another woman, a revelation that throws into relief not only the relationship between all four friends, but Karen and Gabe’s marriage too.
“Margulies writes about relationships with such intelligence and spiky humour that his comedy-drama .... becomes something quite wonderful.” Time Magazine
