Review: (Toronto) Table Manners (The Norman Conquests)

The Party of the Year

Meet Norman (Albert Schultz), a bearish Lothario, who sets out to seduce the ladies of the house beginning with his lonely sister-in-law Annie. 

Stranded in Annie’s (Laura Condlln) country home when a dirty weekend away is foiled by nosy relatives and a put-upon wife, Norman re-jigs his plans for romantic conquest and throws the whole house into chaos. No one is safe. 

Reg (Derek Boyes) says the women hate Norman, but the truth is a much murkier creature than that. Norman may not look it, but he is an incorrigible charmer and every man’s id unleashed. He knows just the right words to whisper to soften even the most severe and nervous of women. This makes him unpredictable. It makes him dangerous.
