Hall also directed the play's original London premiere at the National Theatre in 1977, prior to a subsequent Broadway transfer to the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in 1979, with the original London cast that included Polly Adams, Michael Gough, Joan Hickson, Delia Lindsay, Susan Littler, Stephen Moore, Derek Newark and Michael Stroud. Gough and Hickson were respectively Tony winners for Best Featured Actor and Actress in a Play, while the play was nominated for the Best Play Tony. Hall and Ayckbourn, who co-directed, were nominated for Best Direction of a Play.

According to press materials, the play, which shines a spotlight on the trials and tribulations of suburban marriage, revolves around four couples, three bedrooms, two celebrations, one blazing row and an illicit kiss (or two). Trevor and Susannah have a problem relationship which requires urgent attention. What better solution than to talk it over with family and friends? Preferably in their respective bedrooms and ideally in the middle of the night. Inevitably, one problem relationship tends to spark off another. When you have friends like Trevor and Susannah, nobody gets much sleep.
