1995 is Lee's first Eurovision party without Michael. He is joined instead by a small but far from select gathering of friends. As the atmosphere heats up, recriminations and revelations fly and there will be blood, sweat and tears before the voting of the Belgian jury. Jonathan Harvey's hit comedy brings the Eurovision Song Contest's kitsch campery to the Hexagon Theatre.

As the friends settle down with their Bucks Fizz to let Love Shine a Light over their intimate get-together, several unanswered questions remain. Who will be Saving all their Kisses for Wendy? When will Tania be Making her Mind Up? And will Congratulations be in order when Nick pours fuel on their Eurovision fiasco? Expect all the answers and, Ooh Ahh Just a Little Bit More! And just what is Norman up to in that bedroom?

Harvey is well known as the writer of BBC2's Gimme Gimme Gimme, starring Kathy Burke, who directed the London premiere performance of this play. Harvey also made his name as the author of the urban fairytale (and later hit film) Beautiful Thing.
