What could be worse than getting no help from your friends when you most need it? Well... perhaps getting “help” from those friends! In this serio-comedy, Colin must be comforted in his grief over the death of his fiancée, so his friends, who never met the girl, arrange a tea party for him. Understandably, these friends are on edge wondering what to say, but there is more to their unease: Diane and Paul, John and Evelyn, and Marge (whose husband is perpetually ill) are all kept together by a mixture of business and cross-marital emotional ties. By the time Colin arrives for tea, their tenseness contrasts dramatically with his air of cheerful relaxation. He is the only happy one among them! And his happiness and analyses of their troubles drive them bonkers!
