This masterpiece of the
20th century written by Bristol-born Peter Nichols is a hauntingly,
autobiographical play. It explores the ways in which a young married
couple cope with their 10 year old, severely brain-damaged child.
Whilst clearly loving
their daughter Joe, Bri and Sheila's relationship is put under
unbearable strains by the day-to-day efforts of caring for her.
Resorting to jokes and knock-about humour to try and disguise their
pain simply makes their anguish all the more poignant.
Don't miss this
"magnificent, deeply humane and emotionally shattering play" |
