Overview Of The Play
Gerry Stratton has organized a small family dinner with his sons Glyn and Adam at his favourite restaurant to celebrate his wife Laura's 54th birthday. Glyn is with his long suffering wife Stephanie, and their marraige looks to be on firmer ground than it was once; Adam has brought along his new girlfriend Maureen, an outrageous hairdresser, and they are both eager to impress. The occassion suggests a happy domestic scene, but gradually we are made aware of the family skeletons. We discover that Glyn's faithlessness knows no bounds, that the fanily transport business has been hit by the recession, and that Laura has been unfaithful to her husband. The present opens up to have Glyn's story move forward in time and Adam's backward, while at the centre Gerry and Laura pick apart their marriage and recall first love

The cheating toad Glyn was played by Gavin O’Neil whilst Gerri Crockwell was his poor sat upon wife Stephanie. Argosy new boy Pistol Pete took the role of the youngest son a bit of a dreamer called Adam who is head over heals with Polly Osguthorpe’s character the somewhat common Maureeeen. Calvinu, Tuto, Aggi and Dinka the owner and waiters at the restaurant in which the play is set were be played in a rather distinctive Latin style by Paul Friend. While Ginger Sam Webb was given the perfect release for his testosterone as Bengie the waiter who speaka-da-no-english
