Dinner for One

As we make the transit into 2009, different cultures have different rituals to celebrate this change - New Yorkers drop the ball, in North Carolina they drop an Opossum, in Naples it's either sex or fireworks, and in Germany it is a dinner.

Not just any dinner.

It's Dinner for One.

This is an old theater play, showing the 90th birthday party of an old lady. She celebrates her birthday since many years with her four closest friends. Unfortunately, she has outlived all of them, but does not want to miss out on her fun dinner party. So, for all toasting to the health of the lady, Butler James has to act each guest's part... All in british english, except for the introduction speaker.

The play was recorded in 1963 with british actors in Hamburg, Germany.
Since 1972 it is broadcasted on every New Year's eve on all local TV channels.

Enjoy the dinner! :)
