Beverly Moss
Beverly Moss is the gregarious host of the evening's gathering, she has been married to Laurence for three years and used to work on the cosmetics counter in a department store so she is quick with a make-up tip or a spritz of Youth Dew. Beverly has not come from a happy home so she tries to make everything around her really beautiful in her quest to live her best life. Her taste is very nouveau which is not shared with her classical loving husband.

Laurence Moss
Laurence Moss is an Estate Agent and it is not a 9-5 job! He works very long hours and suffers with heartburn. Laurence likes olives, classical music, art and literature - not tastes that are shared by his wife Beverly whose idea of catering is cheese and pineapple on sticks. Laurence is a fan of a Mini and changes his car every year.
This result means you are a hard worker with classical tastes.

Angela Cooper
Ange is a children's nurse who has been married to Tony for nearly three years. They have just moved in and Ange is delighted that her neighbour Beverly made a beeline for her and they are getting on famously. Naturally mild mannered, Ange is easily led by Beverly and doesn't seem to mind when her new friend flirts with her husband. She comes into her own when a medical emergency arises.
This result shows you are a caring person with a sweet nature.

Tony Cooper
Tony Cooper used to be a pro footballer but now he works in Computers as an Operator. He has been married to Angela for almost three years and drives a yellow Ford Escort. He doesn't want Angela to drive and has traditional views about marriage to give kids a name. Tony avoids answering any personal questions but doesn't seem to mind getting up close and personal with Beverly!

Susan Lawson
Susan lives at number 9 Richmond Road, she is divorced from architect David and lives with their two children. Abigail is a fourteen year old with a wild streak and her party is the reason Sue has been invited along to mingle with the two couples. Jeremy is eleven and is at a sleepover. Sue doesn't realise how low key the catering will be so doesn't eat before coming round and being plied with gin and tonics.
This result shows you are refined, but reserved.

Abigail Lawson
We do not meet Abigail in the play, but reference is made to the party she is holding at home that evening - initially she was inviting 15 round and it had crept up to 25 as far as her mum knew when she left. Abigail is a typical teen who is dating older boys, wearing plumbers overalls and sporting a pink streak in her hair.
You are probably a bit of a wild child.
