Before the play begins, two 11-year-old children, Ferdinand Reille and Bruno Vallon get involved in argument because Bruno refuses to let Ferdinand join his 'gang'. Ferdinand knocks out two of Bruno's teeth with a stick. That night, the parents of both children meet to discuss the matter in a civilised manner. As the evening goes on, the meeting degenerates into the four getting into childish irrational arguments resulting in the evening devolving into chaos.

Written by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton, directed by Phillip Wells and performed by Ilminster Entertainments Society.
