Description A wry look at Western society's predilection for modern day gadgets supposedly designed to make our lives easier. A dinner party gatecrashed by buzzers, bells, car alarms, defective smoke alarms, kitchen timers and a recalcitrant corkscrew results in a riotous evening for everyone except the guests. Four actors perform in eight fast and funny playlets.
