Britain's What's On Event Guide
Set Menu
Friday night. Food is ready, drinks are cold, cutlery is set. Max is primed to throw the perfect dinner party. Nothing but perfection will do; nothing else has worked. After a hundred attempts, he knows exactly what to do and say.
Hours later, the guests leave satisfied, as Max waits for the clock to set him free. This time for sure, he’s earned a tomorrow. Set Menu begins 600 days later. Max has failed to escape so many times that he’s lost all sense of time and himself.
The clock resets, the guests forget, and he begins again.
One particularly awful night, he decides to reset the night early. When he wakes to try again, something's different. He’s lost a pen. The plan? Simple. Chaos. He’s going to beat whatever is keeping him trapped by making the worst dinner party ever. With exceptional knowledge of the house’s contents and the guests’ psyches, he’ll take on the role of a twisted puppeteer. The food is burnt, the drinks are spiked, the cutlery is sharpened.
As anarchy reaches its peak, Max is confronted with a terrifying truth: one guest was never supposed to be there. And knows more than they let on.
