A moving new play about the importance of family . . . a beautifully low-key family drama that purrs with feeling. . . . Simon Longman's sparkling new play . . . Longman's dialogue flows like water: it's natural and fresh and ripples with energy. . . . packed with subtle moments that brim with bruised meaning. . . . the despair and joy, loneliness and connection, which family can provide is bundled up in the very fabric of this show.
