MUSIC: If I Didn't Love You So

Set in a fancy West End restaurant, three couples – exemplars of 1990’s greed – are having dinner. They are ruthless in their pursuit of individual pleasures and in their disregard for others.
At the smaller table are a couple taunting each other with past and present infidelities; at the larger, two Mafioso thugs and their blowsy, aging trophy-wives are celebrating a wedding anniversary.
There is a good deal going on just under the tablecloths; neither group is really in any mood for celebration, and as the wine loosens their tongues some extremely unpleasant truths start to crawl out from the past.
